FAQ - Face - Acne Treatments
Q. What is the Blue Light?
A. The BLU-U Blue Light is a very special blue light that can kill p. acnes bacteria which causes moderate inflammatory acne in your skin. Treatments are simple – you simply sit with your face close to the light for a short time at a schedule created by Dr. Wright, usually 15-minute sessions about once or twice per week. The treatments may continue for five weeks or so. It is very safe, it is not hot, it is not painful at all. After some weeks, the blue light can control your acne, or clear it up for a very long period.
