FAQ
Is it safe?
The BLU-U treatment is very safe. The blue-violet light penetrates just deep enough into the tissue to reach the acne target. The wavelength of the Blu-U light targets only the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria, the main cause of acne. Even though there is no evidence of complications, we will not perform this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What are the advantages of light therapy?
Unlike other acne treatments, Blu-u is considered safe and gentle. With no harsh side effects, this drug-free treatment is safe to combine with other acne therapies.
