Acne affects millions of persons in the USA, leaving them with unattractive facial scarring and spots. Finding an effective treatment is problematic for many as some of the treatments do not work or need to be continued for long periods of time. However, BLU-U treatment may be the solution according to a press release from ViVA Skin Care Centre located in Burlington, Massachusetts. This is used to treat mild to severe acne without the use of drugs.

Another treatment, Photodynamic Acne Treatment (PDT) not only treats severe acne, it also deals with older acne scars. PDT is combined with BLU-U light with a topical photosensitizing agent, Levulan to treat acne quickly and effectively. It is reported that most acne sufferers only need between four to five treatments followed by annual check-ups.
