BLU-U Blue Light therapy: Blue light is a non-drug therapy for moderate acne. The BLU-U is a unique low intensity light that targets and destroys P. acnes bacteria in your skin.

This can be used alone to treat acne or along with other topical and oral therapies.

BLU-U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy with Levulan PDT : This treatment combines Blue Light Therapy with Levulan PDT solution to treat moderate to advanced acne. The Levulan PDT solution is applied to the treatment area and then is allowed to be absorbed by the cells, where it is converted into a chemical that makes the cells sensitive to light. When the treatment area is exposed to the Blu-U Blue Light illuminator, a chemical reaction occurs destroying the p. acnes bacteria.
