BLU-U® Treatment for Actinic Keratosis and Acne

Actinic Keratosis (AK) is a common skin condition caused by accumulated sun exposure.  The concern with AK is not merely cosmetic because these lesions are made up of pre-cancerous cells and can develop into a skin cancer at any time.

BLU- U® uses a low-intensity blue light in combination with Levulan Kerastick® to sensitize those pre-cancerous cells and create a mild sunburn-like reaction to just those damaged cells.  In 7-10 days they merely crust over and peel away just like normal skin after a real sunburn.

Studies show that you can get up to an 80% reduction in the number of Actinic Keratoses with this treatment.

Acne!
BLU-U® is used by itself to treat moderate acne.  The acne lesion becomes red and inflamed because of the bacteria, P. acnes, which lives on our skin.  These bacteria thrive in hair follicles and their connected oil glands causing the typical acne pimple.  The BLU-U® light is completely safe to your skin but deadly to the bacteria. 

If you are dealing with moderate to severe acne and would like to try this treatment, give us a call today to schedule your appointment.
