The Basics
Destroy acne-causing bacteria, decrease inflammation, and promote healing
A quick 20 minute treatment that targets the sebaceous glands, which are also called oil glands. They’re located beneath your hair follicles.
Sebaceous glands are necessary for lubricating your skin and hair so that it doesn’t dry out. However, these glands can become overactive, leading to oily skin and acne.
The theory is that blue LED light therapy can target these oil glands and make them less active. In turn, you may see fewer acne breakouts. Blue light can also kill acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin, which can help treat severe acne pimples, including cysts and nodules.
Oftentimes, blue LED light is used in conjunction with red LED light to:
- Help treat acne
- Decrease scarring
- Promote anti-inflammatory effects
What to expect
Painless 20 minute procedure twice weekly for 4-12 weeks depending on the severity of acne.
Minimal redness and swelling can be noted immediately after the treatment but this resolves quickly within hours.
Makeup can be applied immediately after unless otherwise recommended and you can resume normal activities immediately.
We provide protective eye goggles to protect your eyes while you sit under the blue light.
Our Recommendations
Bring your makeup bag since removing all your makeup allows for a proper evaluation. Don’t worry! We got you covered. We have a private makeup area to reapply.
While some notice improvement after 1 session, most will see results within 2-4 weeks.
Make sure to let us know if you have an at-home LED device. While your at-home LED device can be effective, it is not nearly as powerful as our in-office LED system.
