What is Blu-U Photodynamic Light Therapy? How Does it Treat Acne?
BLU-U light is a photodynamic therapy and can be used for moderate inflammatory acne. It is a unique blue light that destroys Propionibacterium acnes bacteria on your skin. BLU-U is a non-drug treatment and is safe and effective. Each session is approximately 17 minutes and is not painful. Recommended treatments are twice a week for 4-6 weeks.
What are Propionibacterium acnes?
Acne is the most common condition. There are different types and the most common is acne vulgaris. Beneath the skin are hundreds of tiny sebaceous glands that produce oil. These pass through the pores to the skin and keep your skin smooth. Hormonal changes can stimulate the glands causing them to produce extra oil, clogging pores. When the pores become clogged and the oil gets trapped under the skin, a certain bacteria called P.acnes thrive. The skin becomes irritated, swollen and red and pimples start to form.
