Photodynamic Therapy

If you suffer from moderate to severe acne and are having little luck with topical skin treatments, photodynamic therapy aesthetic treatments in Northwest Arkansas may be an exciting solution.

Patients who do not respond to conventional acne treatments can benefit from the BLU-U® blue light therapy, which kills the P. acnes bacteria that causes acne.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is photodynamic therapy performed?

Patients will be placed in front of the BLU-U light for approximately 16 minutes wearing protective goggles over their eyes. Treatments are performed weekly for several weeks. Once desired results are achieved, the frequency of treatments can be decreased.

Is photodynamic therapy painful?

There is no pain, but there are some medications that can increase light sensitivity. BLU-U treatments should not be performed on patients taking light-sensitive medications. Give your healthcare provider a list of all your medications in advance of your treatments.

What kind of downtime can I expect from my aesthetic treatment?

There is no downtime with photodynamic therapy.

What kind of results can I expect?

Typically, patients see a gradual improvement over the first few weeks following treatment, depending on the severity of acne.

How do I know if photodynamic therapy is for me?
