Acne Therapy
Blue Light therapy is a skin treatment using high intensity blue light to treat mild to moderate acne. The blue light kills the P. Acne bacteria on the skin which forms within the sebaceous glands causing break outs. Blue light therapy has proven to be safe and effective for mild to moderate cystic acne and does not have the side effects associated with the some of the usual medication therapies for acne.
During your blue light therapy session, your skin will be cleansed and you will be given goggles to protect your eyes from the light. You will then lie down under the blue light source for 20 to 30 minutes in a calm, relaxing environment. Most patients do not experience any discomfort during exposure to the light as there is no heat from the light source.
Sessions are repeated once or twice weekly for several weeks until optimal results are seen. Our initial recommendation is to begin with 8 consecutive treatments. Optimal results are seen from 4-12 weeks after the light therapy has been completed, thus we recommend a follow up visit 2-3 months after your therapy session to assess your results. Additional treatments may be needed depending on the severity of your acne.
Typically, patients experience improvement in their acne for several months, however, maintenance therapy is recommended to sustain results. We will also recommend a skin care regimen to complement your Blue light sessions at your initial consultation appointment.
