Choosing To Get BLU-U Acne Treatment: Who Is A Good Candidate?

For many individuals near Toronto, BLU-U acne treatment is useful for improving moderate to severe acne. It can be used on all types of skin. BLU-U is a light therapy. Advantages of treating acne with light therapy include:

• no systemic side effects (such as those caused by prescription pills),
• non-invasive,
• no associated down time, and
• no daily treatment regimen.

BLU-U treatment can be used on patients of all ages. If you are a woman who is pregnant or nursing you should not have BLU-U acne treatment. This is because the effect on your baby has not been tested.

Your BLU-U Acne Treatment In Toronto

BLU-U acne treatment is easy and non-invasive. A BLU-U treatment session involves sitting under a special light for 15-20 minutes. During your treatment, all you have to do is sit. You can listen to music and relax during your treatment session. While you sit, the light penetrates your skin, attacking acne-causing bacteria without disrupting your normal skin tissue.

Most patients report only mild discomfort from the laser treatment. A topical anesthetic can be applied to reduce your discomfort.

BLU-U acne treatment requires a series of treatment sessions. You might require two sessions per week over ten weeks to see an improvement in your acne. Some individuals who are concerned with uneven skin pigmentation may be better candidates for an IPL photofacial at our Toronto practice.

Results And Aftercare for BLU-U Acne Treatment

You should start to see an improvement in your skin in a week or two following your first session. Most patients see a full result from the BLU-U treatment after ten weeks of twice weekly sessions. After your initial results are achieved, you may wish to have one maintenance session per month to extend your results.

During your treatment and afterward, it is important to protect your skin from sunlight. Light treatments make your skin especially sensitive to sunlight.
