Advanced Blu-U Light Thrapy

Blu-U is a unique facial treatment that involves the use of a high intensity, fluorescent blue light to the face. The fluorescent light technology kills the Propionibacterium (P. acnes), a bacteria that can worsen acne by causing additional inflammation and potentially allow acne to progress and spread.

​

This procedure is non-invasive, safe, and has no downtime and no discomfort. You can have a beautiful complexion in a few weeks. The BLU-U is a non-laser visible blue light device that targets the bacteria in the oil glands, eliminating a major player in the process of acne production.

​

For more severe forms of acne, or if excessive oil production is a major contributing factor, a topical photosensitizing agent called aminolevulonic acid (Levulan) may be added to the BLU-U® light treatments. This Photodynamic Therapy or PDT acts in three different ways to combat acne: while inactivating bacteria, it also shuts down sebaceous glands, and unclogs pores by exfoliating skin, with the additional benefit of re-texturizing the skin to smooth the appearance of acne scarring. By addressing these root causes of acne, long-term to permanent reduction of acne is obtained.
