Fighting the battle with acne can be frustrating at times. It can have a negative impact on the appearance. It can also have long term consequences, especially if it progresses to the point of causing scarring to the face. If your acne is not responding to the over-the-counter ointments you have tried, you should go ahead and make an appointment with our medical team at Rao Dermatology in order to learn more about your options regarding acne treatment.

Every acne case is not the same, and individuals can respond to similar cases of it in different manners. In addition, acne is not always limited to individuals during the teenage years. Adults can struggle with it as well. Acne can range from the basic type that consists of blackheads and whiteheads to more serious types that can lead to inflammation and even infection. When acne becomes infected, it can put the individual at a high risk for permanent scarring.

If you are looking for a therapy that does not involve the use of medications and is non-invasive, you might want to inquire about blue light therapy for acne treatment. Much of the acne that causes redness and swelling is caused by bacteria. In addition, it is usually a type of bacteria that can be killed by exposing it to certain types of light that are used during this acne treatment.

Blue light therapy uses light that is at the appropriate wavelengths to penetrate the skin. This lets it reach and destroy the acne-causing bacteria. With regular treatments, the acne may be completely gone. Studies have shown that treatments with these frequencies can produce a substantial reduction in the amount of comedones and papules associated with acne.

If you are looking for something that does not involve the use of medications to control your acne, this acne treatment may be right for you. However, the only way for you to find out if this treatment is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our team of professionals at Rao Dermatology. Our offices are located in Manhattan, Atlantic Highlands, Woodbridge, Fresno and Hanford. Let us show you how blue light therapy can help effectively diminish your acne!
