The BLUE Light® can be administered alone or in conjunction with a topical application of ALA, or Levulan<sup>®</sup> (aminolevulinic acid), for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Studies show that BLUE Light® provides treatment for both active lesions and other inactive sebaceous glands that are not creating active lesions. Pretreatment with topical ALA may offer additional reduction of lesions, pustules, and papules.</P> <p>Bacteria multiplying in the sebaceous glands that surround hair follicles cause acne. The results range from the common pimple to severe acne. The key is to get rid of the bacteria while not harming the skin. Some people use topical creams, special cleansers, or even opt for oral medication. However these solutions do not work for everybody for a myriad of reasons.</p> <p>The Dusa BLUE Light® is an amazing treatment that eliminates the bacteria that causes acne. When the skin is exposed to Dusa BLUE Light®, the light enters the sebaceous glands that harbor the bacteria. In turn the sebaceous gland create oxygen molecules that then destroy the bacteria and help the healing process. With the bacteria gone, the acne begins to clear up and the skin begins to heal.</p> <h2>Acne - Affecting All Age Groups</h2> <p>Acne can affect us at almost any age, typically it begins during adolescence, when hormonal changes cause the enlargement and obstruction of sebaceous glands in the skin. Consequently, many people experience an abnormal proliferation of bacteria, predominantly propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes). This typically causes painful, inflamed lesions that can appear on the face, chest, back, limbs and virtually any other part of the body. While most individuals will eventually outgrow their acne, some will remain susceptible to it throughout their lives. Even for those who no longer generate new symptoms, permanent scarring frequently results.</p> <p>Now, you can clear mild to moderate inflammatory acne without side effects, discomfort, photosensitivity or downtime. Acne Clearing treatments utilize a high intensity enhanced light source to permeate the tissue to destroy acne bacteria quickly and easily - with no side effects, no downtime, no pain, and without the exposure to antibiotics. Typically, just ten treatments over a four week period will greatly improve the appearance of skin. BLUE Light® Acne PhotoClearing<sup>™</sup> is great for teens and adults and can help heal and clear your face of acne.</p> <h3>DermaVogue Aesthetic Laser Center in South Carolina - Offering State-of-the-Art Treatments for Acne</h3> <h4>BLU-U<sup>®</sup> System by Dusa</h4> <p>The BLU-U<sup>®</sup> BLUE Light® Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator system by DUSA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. gained FDA approval in 2003 for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. It is a compact light source with u-shaped fluorescent tubes designed to uniformly distribute BLUE Light® onto the treatment area. BLU-U® BLUE Light® system can be used alone as an acne treatment, or with Levulan<sup>®</sup> solution as part of BLUE Light® photodynamic acne therapy.</p> <h3>BLUE Light® Acne Treatment: With & Without Levulan</h3> <h4>BLUE Light® Acne Therapy Without Levulan</h4> <p>Patients receiving BLUE Light® Acne Treatment (without Levulan) simply sit in front of the BLUE Light® delivery system for about sixteen minutes. Treatments are spaced at weekly intervals. The number of your treatments, your treatment time and your treatment interval may vary with the severity of your acne.</p> <p>BLUE Light® with Levulan adds the topical application of Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) in conjunction with the BLUE Light® treatment. After Levulan is applied and absorbed into the skin it is converted into a potent photosensitizer, protophorphyrin IX. Because Levulan absorbs into actinic keratoses and sebaceous glands it selectively targets them. The BLUE Light® then activates these protophorphyrins, resulting in shrinkage of these tissues and the improvement in the acne condition.</p> <h3>For more information about BLUE Light® PhotoDynamic Therapy...</h3> <p>Of course, we'll be glad to answer your BLU-U<sup>®</sup> BLUE Light® Photodynamic Therapy questions, so don't hesitate to call DermaVogue at <strong>(843) 357-2444 for our Garden City location or (843) 272-4071 for our North Myrtle Beach location </strong><strong></strong>.
