Has anyone had experience with Blue Light Therapy for acne?

September 9, 2010 by  
Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve used ProActive, Differin, and other cleansers and creams and nothing seems to work for a long period of time. I wash my face morning and night and have very combo skin. My question is, Has anyone ever tried the new Blue Light therapy that I’ve been hearing about? Did you work for you, and did you have any side effects? Was it expensive? Thanks!
I’m 22, so by now I’ve done plenty of research and know all about acne and the different solutions (I’ve tried nearly all of them!) but my question remains to be answered. I’m not looking for pills as a solution or for information on acne as a whole, I am looking for answers from people who have DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH BLUE LIGHT THERAPY. If this does not apply to you, please do not waste my time in answering. Thank you!
