BLU-U therapy uses blue light wavelengths (400–450 nm) to target Cutibacterium acnes — the bacteria that cause inflammatory acne. When these bacteria absorb the blue light, they are destroyed, reducing breakouts and inflammation over time.

Sessions are approximately 20 minutes. You simply relax while the light shines on the treatment area — no pain, no needles.

• Inflammatory and mild-to-moderate acne
• Persistent acne that hasn't responded to other treatments
• Enlarged pores and excess oil production
• Acne scarring (promotes healing and collagen renewal)
• Rosacea and facial redness

Levulan is a topical solution that, when combined with BLU-U light, enhances results significantly. Levulan is absorbed by abnormal cells, pores, and oil glands, making them more responsive to the BLU-U light activation.

Note: BLU-U + Levulan is not suitable if you are pregnant, nursing, taking Accutane, or using photosensitizing medications.

Recommended regimen: 1–2 sessions per week for approximately 5 weeks (5–10 total sessions).

Many clients notice inflammation settling within the first few days. Completing the full series and following your nurse's maintenance plan can keep skin clearer for many months.

Some clients combine BLU-U with medical-grade skincare (Vivier Skin) for enhanced, longer-lasting results.

Does it hurt?

No. Clients simply relax while the blue light shines. Most describe it as warm and comfortable with no pain or needles.

Is there any downtime?

Virtually none — you can return to work, school, or the gym immediately after your 20-minute appointment.

How should I prepare?

Arrive with clean skin and bring a list of current medications, especially antibiotics or retinoids.

How long will results last?

Completing the series and following a maintenance plan can keep skin clearer for many months. Maintenance sessions every few months are recommended for chronic acne.
