Treatment of Mild, Moderate, and Severe Acne in Toronto

What is Blue Light Acne Therapy?

For acne sufferers, Blue Light Acne Therapy has become a popular treatment option offered by the skin care therapists at Avenue Skin Care in Toronto.

This relaxing treatment, which takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes, is soothing, non-invasive and painless. It uses a source of frequency-specific blue light to kill acne-causing bacteria below the surface of the skin. When left untreated, the bacteria can lead to breakouts of acne.

How Does Blue Light Acne Therapy Work?

Either comfortably sitting or lying down during the treatment, a high-intensity, narrow-band of blue light is applied close to the areas of the patient’s skin which are being treated for acne. The light attacks the bacteria which form within the sebaceous glands below the surface of the skin. It’s these bacteria that produce the acne and its associated breakouts. Blue Light Acne Therapy can be administered by the skin care therapist, either alone or in conjunction with a topical solution which is applied to, and then absorbed into the skin. The light activates the solution, which then attacks and kills the bacteria.

Post-Treatment

Because the Blue Light Acne Therapy provided by the skin care therapists at Avenue Skin Care is both painless and relaxing there is no recovery time following the treatment. The patient can return to their normal activities as soon as the treatment session is over.

A series of regular treatments to maintain the quality of the skin may be recommended by the skin care therapists at Avenue Skin Care in Toronto.

Blue Light Acne Therapy treatments are typically repeated weekly for several weeks until the desired results are achieved.

The specific number of treatments needed to get those results may vary, depending on the severity of the patient’s case of acne. This, too, will be determined by the skin care therapists at Avenue Skin Care, during consultation with the patient.
