Acne Treatment

For mild acne or teenagers just developing acne, the BLU-U is a great choice.

What is BLU-U?

It is a unique blue light that can kill P. acnes, a bacteria on your skin that leads to acne.

Does it hurt?

No not at all! Treatments are simple - you sit with your face close to the light for a short time, approximately 16-minutes, once or twice per week.

How many treatments does it take to see results?

The treatments may go on for four weeks or so. It's safe, it's not hot, it's not painful. After several weeks, the blue light can help control your acne. We sell these treatments in packages of 8.

For more severe or cystic acne, photodynamic therapy is a treatment option for those who do not want to take pills or those who have tried everything.

What is Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) ?

This light based therapy for the treatment of cystic acne is an ideal way to clear up your skin in no time. A topical solution, Levulan® Kerastick is first applied to the skin. The levulan is taken up by the oil glands over the next hour. The patient is then placed under a Blue light which activates the Levulan. This destroys the bacteria that causes acne and decreases oil production that is often the culprit in stubborn acne.

How many treatments are needed?

The procedure is performed once a month for 3-5 months. We have seen long lasting remission/control with this cutting edge treatment.
