Blue Light Therapy for acne?
I am considering blue light therapy for acne, but I have a few questions about it. How often do you need the treatment to keep acne away? once a month? Once a week? Also, how effective is it? I've heard you can get the same results from a tanning bed, but that scares me because I don't want to damage my skin the same way a tanning bed would! Is it true that blue LED treatments are just the same as the UV rays in tanning salons?
NOTE: If you are going to suggest any over the counter or prescription acne medicine PLEASE DO NOT bother!!!! If I wanted to know about Proactive, I would ASK a question about it!!! Save your time and only answer if you know about what I'm asking about! I want to know ONLY about Blue and red light acne therapy. You will NOT get points for an unrelated answer!
Ho do you safely go tanning if you have mild acne/acne scars?
I use BenzaClin tropical acne treatment (prescribed by my doctor) and it works very well but I'm scared to go to the tanning bed because of that. How can I safely tan with acne scars? Is it bad for my skin? I heard that tanning makes acne worse and makes your scars red. Please help.
Indoor Tanning and Acne?
So i really want to start tanning indoors in a tanning bed or stand up or whatever but i currently am using benzoyl peroxide as a acne spot treatment. They say BP increases skin photosensitivity and you shouldnt tan while using it. Is it smart to stop the benzoyl peroxide completely and start tanning....or should i keep using the BP and just not tell the salon and tan anyways. Any advice welcome! Thanks in advanced :)
