Acne and Blue Light Technology
Blue light technology offers an effective solution for
the treatment and prevention of mild to moderate
inflammatory acne. Once only available at the
dermatologist’s office, this advanced technology is
proven to work better than Benzoyl Peroxide* without
any of the negative side effects like dryness, irritation
or flakiness. The specific wavelength of professional
strength blue light delivered by the clear device has a
phototoxic effect on the acne-causing bacteria, causing
it to self destruct, breaking the acne cycle simply and
cleanly. New sonic vibration and gentle warming features
improve results by opening pores, exposing even more
of the P. acnes bacteria to the powerful blue light.
