Acne Care

Acne is a problem that affects nearly everyone, and certainly not only teenagers. While most prevalent in those undergoing puberty, it is also known to affect both men and women well into adulthood. However, no matter what you may have heard about acne, it is definitely treatable.
Acne is caused by the production of a hormone called androgen, and because androgen is produced continually throughout a person's life, it can be a problem that plagues us for a very long time. The BLU-U® Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator is the product that Dr. El-Attar uses for Blue Light Treatment. Blue Light Treatment offers effective, non-invasive and pain-free treatment for moderate acne vulgaris , a condition affecting millions of adults, teens and children.

The Blue Light Treatment is not a laser. It emits safe, cool visible blue light to provide an effective solution to moderate acne. It works by utilizing the Levulan® Kerastick® product first to make the skin more responsive to light treatment and then applying Blue Light Treatment to rid the skin of acne vulgaris.
