ABOUT ACNE
Acne begins deep under the skin with the buildup of oil
in the sebaceous glands. When this oil and dead skin cells
clog the hair follicle, P. acnes bacteria proliferate. The skin
becomes inflamed and breakouts develop.
For years, dermatologists have treated acne with traditional
topical and oral medications, which sometimes left the skin
irritated or resulted in side eects that made long-term
treatment difficult. Now, Tria Blue Light offers a true
breakthrough in the treatment of acne by providing a safe,
gentle and eective means of clearing and helping to
prevent blemishes by eliminating the underlying cause
at the source.
Using a gentle, non-UV high-energy light source, Tria
Blue Light treats mild to moderate inflammatory acne by
eliminating the bacteria that cause acne—deep within the
skin—without aecting the surrounding tissue or irritating
skin. Even those with sensitive skin types can treat blemishes
long term, safely and eectively with the Tria Blue Light.

the treated and untreated skin, such as redness, discolouration
or discomfort, SEE A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL and DO
NOT USE the Tria Acne Clearing Blue Light again. The Tria
