Commonly Asked Questions about Acne Treatment at Refine Dermatique in  Albertville, MN.

What is Blue Light Acne Treatment?

Blue Light Acne Therapy is a pain-free high-intensity, narrow-band blue light used to treat mild to moderate acne.  The Blue Light Treatment targets and destroys p. acnes, the bacteria responsible for causing acne inflammation. 

Acne is caused by overactive sebaceous glands in the skin. The sebaceous glands release sebum (oil) which can clog the pores, leaving the sebum trapped beneath the skin.  The resulting black and white heads cause Propronibacterium acnes (p. acnes) which can cause inflammation, pustules and nodules under the skin. 

In some cases a topical photosensitizing solution is applied prior to the Blue Light Treatment.  A chemical peel may also be recommended as part of your Acne Treatment.

Is a Blue Light Acne Treatment painful?

Most patients experience no discomfort during a Blue Light Acne Treatment.

How long is Blue Light Acne Treatment?

Blue  Light Acne Treatments take approximately 20-30 minutes.  If a photosensitizing solution appiled prior to the Blue Light Treatment is recommended by the doctor, this will be applied anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes prior to the treatment.

A series of  light treatments will be recommended by the doctor.  A  series of 6 treatments performed two times per week for three weeks is typical, although may vary from patient to patient.  Maintenance treatments are often times recommended to maintain results.

What are the side effects of Blue Light Acne Treatment?

Blue Light Acne Treatment is a safe, pain-free treatment for acne.  The Blue Light targets the sebaceous glands and does not effect the surrounding areas.  If a photosensitizing solution is used along with the Blue Light, some swelling, redness, stinging or burning may follow the treatment.

Although results vary from patient to patient, many patients (up to 80%) see a marked improvement in hard to treat acne.
