Blue U Levulan acne treatment
is a newly found method in fighting acne. The treatment uses
Blue Light (Blue U) as a photo-facial therapy that sends
painless light of blue color that improves the results of
your skin regeneration.
To intensify the effect of the Blue
U to fight acne, the system uses Levulan, a 5-Amino Levulinic
Acid applied to your face as a topical medication.
Is It Safe?
According to some researchers, Blue
U Levulan acne treatment contains no radiation and will not
damage skin, because the Blue Light only attacks acne-causing
bacteria, not the skin tissue.

some positive results reported:

Very expensive (most
patients have to receive 2-3 times of treatment, with an
average of US$ 450/session. This means you have to spend
about US$ 900 - US$ 1200 to get rid of acne. The number can
be greater for some people)

WARNING:
"There are
no government regulations about who can own or
operate a Blu-U machine. There is no minimal
training required by regulatory agencies and
practically anyone who has money can buy a machine
and start doing treatments. For those reasons, you
have to be very careful where you go..." |
Final Words...
Although Blue U Levulan acne
treatment works for some people, but why spend thousands of
dollars while you can spend much more less? (see our
latest independent review on
the best
acne treatments available).
Not to mention all the hassles you
have to go through in finding the right doctor (Blu-U can be
potentially dangerous if not used by well trained technicians),
the right machine (what type of Blue U machine used) and also in
dealing with the side effects...
