Blue Light Therapy is a newer acne treatment procedure available to patients. In targeting the sebaceous glands in the skin, this therapy will kill the bacteria which causes acne to appear. With regular treatments, the skin will become clearer and acne breakouts will be less frequent.
What Medium Skin Tone Patients Can Expect
As with any cosmetic procedure, it helps to find out whether a patient is a good candidate. Some medium skin tone patients may want to consult with their doctor about possible skin discoloration. Since the procedure does target the skin with an intense light, some medium skin patients can see their skin lighten up slightly after the treatment is done. This lightening can be permanent, which would not be ideal. The size of the area to be treated, as well as the degree to which the skin needs to be treated, will determine whether a medium skin tone patient will be a good fit.
With Blue Light Therapy, some patients can see dramatic results in their skin tone and texture, while also reducing the risk of future breakouts. But for those with medium skin tones, the decision may require more time. A qualified dermatologist will help the patient make the best decision for their particular needs.
