Bacteria are very sensitive to the blue light spectrum. Unlike topical treatments that work to decrease inflammation and bacteria on the surface of the skin, light treatment eliminates acne-causing bacteria (otherwise known as P.acnes) before it can feed off of the oil glands that cause redness and inflammation.
There may be some mild discomfort during the treatment. Most clients describe the feeling as a slight sting or ‘snap’. There is often less discomfort with subsequent treatments as your skin becomes clearer.
We do our best ensure you’re as comfortable as possible and many clients tolerate this treatment with no problem.
