Katy dermatologist describes the effectiveness of blue light treatment

Hundreds of patients in the Katy area are struggling with acne, and it’s not just teenagers—in fact, many adults deal with the condition as well and may feel embarrassed by it. Acne is not just a hormonal issue in pubescent teenagers. It can last a lifetime when patients do not take the time to work with a quality dermatologist on an effective treatment. While topical and oral medications can work wonders on acne, so can treatments such as blue light therapy.

Blue light treatment is a revolutionary way for patients to address mild to severe acne. It works faster and more effectively by killing the bacteria on the skin and clearing up acne for an extended period of time. It works wonderfully when combined with a quality, at-home skin care regimen.

Many patients are curious to learn about the effectiveness of blue light treatment at Dr. W Dermatology. Dr. Seymour Weaver is a dermatologist who works closely with patients to develop a treatment plan that work with their skin type and their lifestyle. Many patients find blue light therapy to be a great way of controlling their condition by destroying the bacteria deep within the plugged follicles that result in the development of blemishes.

Blue light treatment is a relatively simple treatment. Patients come into our practice and are positioned in front of a blue light panel for a specific period of time. In approximately one to two months, patient will notice dramatic improvement in inflammatory acne versus the use of conventional treatments such as oral antibiotics and topical creams. Blue light treatments should be done regularly and the intervals should be discussed with our team of professionals.
