We have been using Blu-light treatments for many years and have not found that the Blu-light itself will affect the quality of your skin. The Blu-light does have the ability to kill acne bacteria, which may lead to less acne. But the Blu-light in and of itself cannot improve
acne scars, pore size or texture. It is designed only to kill acne bacteria.

The blue light treatment is for pre-cancer lesions on my forehead and scalp. For several years the treatment I have followed has been to freeze the area affected, which usually produces acceptable results for about a year then the lesions return.
