ABOUT ACNE
Acne starts with the buildup of oil under
the skin, which causes a type of bacteria
called P. acnes to multiply. Pores become
clogged with this bacteria, excess oil, and
dead skin cells, and the skin becomes
inflamed. The result is acne blemishes,
such as pimples and pustules. Blue light
treats acne blemishes by killing the
bacteria that cause them.
