Abstract

The LED blue light (BL) phototherapy, using photo-converter chromophores, provides long-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Treatment with BL turns out to be safe and effective as well as pleasant. The results seem to be long lasting with negligible or completely absent downtime. The only side effects appear to be a fleeting erythema and a bronze effect that, in some cases, could also be aesthetically pleasing.
