Tilbury Ontario Photodynamic Therapy
Blu-U Acne Treatments
Think you're alone in your skincare troubles? Think again! More than 80 percent of people in the world deal with acne on a regular basis (source: Kansas City Skin Care Center), making it one of the most prevalent skincare issues on the planet. Luckily, scientific advancements over the last five years have help to greatly improve the treatment options available to those dealing with severe acne issues. At Medical Aesthetics, we now offer a full range of Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy treatments that are designed to quickly and effectively clear the skin of acne causing bacteria and improve the look and feel of your face.
Introducing Blue-U Acne Treatments
Blue-U acne treatments work by treating acne through high intensity light therapy. Originally, light treatments for acne contained powerful ultraviolet lights. This practice was discontinued when studies uncovered the adverse effects UV has on the skin. The Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy treatments offered by Medical Aesthetic now use a revolutionary Blue-U light in combination with a topical photosensitizing application. This combination treatment targets the bacteria Propionibacterium that causes acne. If left untreated, these bacteria can worsen acne by causing additional inflammation and allowing it to spread to uninfected areas.
Blu-U Effectiveness
Finding an affordable and effective acne treatment can seem like an impossible task. If you've struggled to find a solution that works for you, now is the time to consider a Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy session. While the results that clients get using Blu-U can vary, nearly 80 percent of patients responded positively to the treatment and experienced noticeable improvement in their skin. Patients that receive the Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy Blu-U treatment at Medical Aesthetics have reported about a 55 percent clearance of their acne, while some have reported nearly total clearance.
Preparing for a Blu-U Tilbury Ontario Photodynamic Therapy Session
There are a few important things to remember prior to booking a Blu-U Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy treatment. First, you can't undergo the procedure if you're pregnant or nursing. Second, this treatment is intended for only those patients who have the most common form of acne, acne vulgaris. Patients can expect to experience a few die effects following the procedure, but all are mild and should clear up within a few days. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, and dryness.
How Many Treatments are Required?
Patients respond to the healing power of the Blu-U light differently, so it's hard to say just how many treatments are needed in order to achieve the desired results. At Medical Aesthetics, we usually recommend that our clients book two 15 minute sessions each week for a five to ten week period. It is important to stick to the treatment scheduled recommended by your physician as this will help you achieve maximum results. Clients can also book a Tilbury Ontario photodynamic therapy maintenance session once a month following the initial series of treatments in order to enjoy optimum results.
