BLUE Light Photodynamic Therapy is a FDA approved treatment for moderate acne. The BLUE Light Photodynamic Therapy kills the P.acnes bacteria in your skin.

Acne occurs when oil produced by sebaceous glands does not reach the surface of the skin and is trapped in pores and follicles. When the bacteria and pus leak from the follicle into the surrounding tissue, pimples are formed.

Our trained technicians apply the BLUE Light to areas that are affected by acne. The procedure takes about fifteen to twenty minutes and is non-invasive.

Treatments are spaced out at weekly intervals. BLUE Light can be used alone or in conjunction with a topical ointment such as ALA or Levulan.

BLUE-U LIGHT & LEVULAN

Acne sufferers see light with Blue-U Light Therapy combined with the topical application of Levulan. This is also known as Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) or ALA/PDT treatment. It is a medically supervised, simple two step procedure. ALA/PDT therapy is good not only for acne, but it is also an excellent and effective treatment for removal of sun damaged, pre cancerous zones and actinic keratosis. This treatment is also helpful for improving fine lines, blotchy pigmentation and acne pit scars.

At the time of the treatment, the areas to be treated are thoroughly cleansed with acetone. Levulan Kerastick solution is prepared for each client and applied directly to the affected areas with a wet applicator stick. After the first layer of Levulan dries, a second layer may be applied, depending on the severity of acne. After the application of Levulan, the patient waits for 60 minutes, depending again on the severity of the acne lesions. During this waiting time Levulan reaches inside the pores where acne bacteria are found. After this incubation time (waiting time) the prepared areas are exposed to a safe blue light for 7-10 minutes in order to activate the Levulan drug, thus destroying the bacteria.

The treatments are gentle and safe for all skin types. A mild sun burn like sensation may be seen soon after treatment by most individuals. The skin will feel tight and may peel after 2-3 days. Intense and direct sun exposure should be avoided soon after, and for about 24 hours immediately following the treatment.
