How Blue Light acne treatment works
Narrowband blue visible light (417 nm) activates endogenous photosynthesizers and porophins within P. acnes creating toxic bacteriocidal environment in the pylosebaceous gland. This inhibits the obstruction of the sebaceous follicle and formation of the acne lesions.
The treatment session lasts approximately 15 minutes. Patient sits with affected areas close to Tru-Blu blue light source for 1-2 sessions per week. Clinician turns on Tru-Blu with keylock switch and monitors treatment. Over 5-6 weeks, the bacteria is killed and acne resolved. No medications, non-invasive, no pain, effective.
Side Effects and Patient Precautions
Patient should experience mild stinging and reddening during and after each treatment. Other side effects may include scaling, itching, crusting, and skin color changes. Side effects should be at maximum the day after treatment, improve markedly by the end of first week, and be completely resolved by 4 weeks after treatment. If necessary, the patient can remove himself from the Tru-Blu at any time. Tru-Blu eye protection should be worn, but clinician should check to ensure that eye protection and hair do not block areas to be treated.
