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.

Q. What is Photodynamic Therapy?
A. Photodynamic therapy is the combination of using Levulan, a pharmaceutical compound, with light therapy to effectively treat nodular, inflammatory and cystic acne. Treatments are able to be customized by choosing the appropriate light therapy device to reduce acne as well as improve your facial tone, color and texture. Patients have experienced wonderful results after a series of 2 to 5 treatments. Results are long-lasting and can be permanent when continuing on a simple at home skin care routine.
