The
BLU-U is the answer for people who have struggled
with acne but need more than medicines. Treatments
are simple - you simply sit with your face
close to the light for a short time at a
schedule set up by your doctor. The treatments
may go on for around five weeks and provide
a significant clearing of acne. It is not
a tanning light nor will it burn the face.
It does not feel hot or sting, but goggles
are used to protect the eyes from the light.
The BLU-U is a very special blue light that
can kill bacteria in your skin.
The
BLU-U was cleared by the FDA in 2003 for
the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne
vulgaris. It is very useful either alone
or in combination with a prescribed medication
program. As acne is not exclusive to teenagers,
many young adults, people in their 20s and
30s, have trouble with acne that is hard
to control. In addition, many insurance plans
consider acne to be cosmetic past the age
of 25, making it more difficult to obtain
medications. The BLU-U treatment is a good
option where moderate acne may not be responding
to medications or other conventional treatments,
or if it is hard to keep up with complicated
routines of skin care.
