Is Blue Light Therapy Right for Your Active Acne?
If you're struggling with persistent breakouts or inflamed acne that doesn’t seem to respond to skincare alone, blue light therapy could be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for. At Reflect Laser Studio, we use the Blauman Blue Light Laser—a professional-grade treatment that targets acne at its source without irritation or downtime.
Here’s everything you need to know about this powerful yet gentle solution.
🔵 What Is Blue Light Therapy?
Blue light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of blue light—typically around 415nm—to kill acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) on the skin. It also helps calm inflammation and reduce oil production.
At Reflect, we use the Milesman Blauman, a laser-based blue light system, which is more targeted and effective than traditional LED light panels.
💥 How Does It Treat Acne?
Active acne begins deep within the skin, when excess oil and dead skin cells clog pores and feed acne bacteria. The Blauman laser:
Penetrates the upper layers of skin without damaging the surface
Destroys P. acnes bacteria with blue light energy
Reduces inflammation, helping to calm red, sore breakouts
Regulates oil glands over time, preventing future breakouts
Unlike harsh topical treatments, blue light therapy works below the skin's surface and doesn’t dry or irritate the skin barrier.
👌 Who Is It For?
Blue light therapy is ideal for:
Teens or adults struggling with persistent acne
Clients who are sensitive to retinol or harsh products
Those on a Roaccutane break or post-medication maintenance
Anyone with inflamed, red, or painful breakouts
It’s safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, chest, or back.
📅 What’s the Treatment Like?
Quick: Usually 15–20 minutes per session
Comfortable: No pain, no needles
No downtime: You can return to your day immediately
Often done as a course of 3-6 treatments, spaced 2 weeks apart
🧴 Aftercare Tips
While there’s no downtime, you’ll get the best results by:
Wearing SPF daily
Avoiding heavy or oily makeup after treatment
Using non-comedogenic, gentle skincare (we’ll advise you)
Staying consistent with your treatment plan
