What is it?

At our office, we offer non-invasive treatment options using the BLU-U Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator. When combined with Levulan Kerastick (aminolevulinic acid HCl) 20% Topical Solution, the BLU-U is effective for treating minimally to moderately thick actinic keratoses on the face or scalp.


Additionally, the BLU-U is specifically indicated for the treatment of moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.


Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy offers multiple benefits, which include:

  • It is a noninvasive procedure
  • Results in minimal to no scarring
  • Proven to be safe and highly effective
  • Precisely targets the affected areas of skin

Our Blue Light treatments are available at our 7th Street and Myrtle Beach locations. 

What to expect

During your Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy (BLU-U), our experienced providers will first apply a photosensitizing agent to your skin, which is then activated by a specific wavelength of light to target problem areas while protecting healthy tissue. This minimally invasive procedure is designed to reduce the risk of scarring compared to other treatments. Our team will monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
