Acne Treatments

Aesthetic treatments for acne typically aim to restore the skin's natural beauty and reduce any scarring that may have developed as a result of the acne's severity or persistence. These procedures are usually carried out by a dermatologist or trained aesthetic specialists.

BLU-U Therapy

If you suffer from mild acne but prefer not to use antibiotics or are dissatisfied with the results of your current topical treatments, BLU-U blue light therapy could be a worthwhile option. Blu-u is an easy-to-schedule, non-invasive, and safe treatment option.

BLU-U emits a special blue light that is effective against P. acnes bacteria. The treatments are straightforward: You undergo small sessions of face-to-light exposure, each lasting about 17 minutes, once or twice weekly. About five weeks of therapy may be necessary (how long treatment lasts is always variable). It's risk-free, doesn't involve high temperatures, and causes zero discomfort during or after treatment. After using the blue light constantly for a few weeks, acne may be effectively managed.

BLU-U blue light therapy can be found at the offices of dermatologists and other skin care professionals. If you have mild acne, consider discussing BLU-U blue light therapy with your doctor. It could be the solution you’re looking for if you're trying to avoid using pharmaceuticals or antibiotics.

Therma Scan

Pulsed radiation at a wavelength of 1319 nm, as utilized in the Therma Scan, enables precise heating of the dermal and epidermal layers of skin. This is highly effective for treating acne by heating sebaceous glands, decreasing oil production, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars without resorting to invasive surgery.

Collagen remodeling, active fibroblast proliferation, and the treatment of overactive sebaceous glands are the mechanisms through which this technique can reduce acne and improve non-ablative acne scarring. The procedure is painless and requires no recovery time, given its non-invasive nature. Within the next twenty to thirty minutes, any facial flushing should subside.
