Blu Light Treatment

June 2, 2015

There is now a new treatment for acne available that doesn’t depend on medication. It’s called the BLU-U® Blu Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator Model 4170. The BLU-U® is a very special blue light that can kill the p. acnes bacteria in your skin. Treatments are simple you simply sit with your face close to the light for a short time at a schedule set up by your doctor, usually a 15 minute session about once or twice per week. The treatments may go on for five weeks or so. It’s very safe, it’s not hot, it’s not painful at all. After some weeks, the blue light can control your acne, or clear it up for a very long period. The BLU-U® was cleared by the FDA in 2003 for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.
