As a leading Livonia / Shelby Township medical spa, Allure Medical Spa offers a range of state-of-the-art procedures, including intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment and Blu-U treatment. The Blu-U light (BLU-U) treatments alone (not in combination with the Aminolevulinic Acid) are effective in combating moderate acne. However, Blu-U has to be used several times per week. Narrow band blue light causes a photodynamic effect within the pylosebaceous gland that kills the bacteria primarily responsible for acne vulgaris.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is often used to treat sun damage, redness, and broken blood vessels of the face. The use of PDT in combination with light is clearly superior, but patients who cannot tolerate some “down time” from the more aggressive procedures will still benefit from light-based treatment alone. There is no need to live with sun damaged or acne affected skin because now they are highly treatable. Call Allure Medical Spa at 1-800-610-7484 or (586) 992-8300 today for a consultation to pursue a treatment that is right for you.
