Introduction
Blue Light Selective Phototherapy is a painless, non-invasive treatment for acne. It targets the bacteria in the acne so that you see immediate results. As a series of treatments it significantly reduces active acne.
How it works
The very specific Blue Light frequency causes oxidation of the Porphyrins (bacterial excretions), which results in the bacteria wall breaking down. This begins at the time of the therapy and continues for some time after.
Treatments
Treatments are usually performed as part of an overall acne program, and the Blue Light Therapy itself takes only about 20 minutes. Ideally treatments should be about a week apart, as this will ensure that any further bacteria is broken down before it does damage.
Results
Blue Light therapy is a gentle and non-invasive treatment so there is no down time at all. You are able to return to work immediately following the treatment. Your active acne will continue to diminish after the treatment as the results are ongoing.
Safety
The Blue Light treatment is completely safe and has no negative side effects.
