Levulan Blue light Acne Treatment


It is amazing to know that technology is so fast developing. It even is catching upHome - Nicholas  Cohen with the treatment of acne through Levulan Blue light acne treatment. This treatment is using a recent development in light/laser technology. This technology is also used for other skin disorders. Blu-U Levulan uses a non laser visible light to kill bacteria in the sebaceous glands and so eliminates one major cause, bacteria.

The whole treatment process is non-invasive and is safe. The time duration wherein you would see results is 4 weeks with 3 to 5 treatment sessions. The blue light treatment is for mild to moderate acne and for the severe acne the levulan (aminolevulonic acid) is used in the procedure.

Levulan blue light acne treatment is also called Photodynamic Therapy or simply PDT. It is said to do three things. One, it eliminates bacteria. Two it unclogs the pores and three, it make the sebaceous glands inactive. With these three it guarantees a long term permanent reduction of acne.

Limitations of Levulan Blue light Acne Treatment


Although this treatment is marketed with positive reviews and a following of people who testify to its effectiveness, it has other issues about it that needs a bit more rethinking. First, it is still limited in its treatment of acne. It addresses two of the several factors that contribute to acne, hyperactive sebaceous glands and bacteria. The other factors are genetics, hormonal imbalance, poor hygiene, poor nutrition, stress and skin allergies.

Second, it claims to make bacteria inactive. It can do this but not all the time because bacteria that cause acne may come from anywhere and naturally lives in human skin. Third, it also claims to make the sebaceous glands shut down. This can’t be because the sebaceous glands are the ones responsible for our skins moisture levels and oil for the skin and hair. Without it the skin and hair becomes dry, brittle and that nothing inhibits the growth of micro-organisms on the skin.

And the last this Levulan Blue Light Acne treatment can be very expensive as it does not really guarantee no out breaks of acne after the treatment.
