Hi, you might be thinking of light therapy for acne bluelight it works by killing the P acne bacterias on the skin and under i don't think there is any laser treatments that you can get to cure acne, to take the scars away yes no to get rid of acne. Bluelight would need to be repeated only a weekly or so basis under you seen results and then just for maintenance (if it worked for you) you can get it done at your derm or most places that preform cosmetic surgery clinics and so on. You can also buy units for use at home. That would work out cheaper than repeated appointments. Their available many places on the web if you want to look for them try search words ';light therapy acne'; or ';bluelight acne home use';.


Heres some info from my personal experience and what works.





Although topical treatments can assist in acne help they will not cure your acne! Neither will antibiotics (don't get me wrong they might take it away for the short term but it will return). Acne is result of a underlying hormonal imbalances, which could have been created by a number of factors including contraceptives, I got ance after going on the contraceptive jag (depo provera). People who say that diet has nothing to do with acne have never suffered acne. It wont cause acne it will only trigger outbreaks in people who are already prone. This is because with a hormonal imbalance it throughs the whole body outta whack including overworking the liver and kidneys therefore the body expels the toxins through the skin (the largest filtration organ in the body). You need to detox,encourage liver function, and balance hormones. The detox here are some methods, Herbal supplements


milk thistle


burdock root


there are lots more i will post some links at the end of this


zinc not a herb but essential for good skin health.


Vitamin E and A also.


Colonics will help detox and encourage liver function.


balancing hormones if you dont have a local endocrinoligist (hormone specialist) you can get hormone tests sent over the internet just saliva you send them back to the labs they give you the results.


Also too much of any hormone is bad in some cases people find that progesterone helps their skin in other it hinders its the same with estrogen.


One hormone you can try and reduce naturally however is testosterone. Try saw palmetto its a herb and has faired the best in clinical trials it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into an androgenic form of testosterone which makes the oil glands work in overdrive.


Accutane works by inhibiting oil production by putting a chemical similiar to Vitamin A in the body however as it is such high levels and chemical that is where the side effects come in.


However you can try doing this naturally in your diet beta-carotene naturally converts into vitamin A in the body so will basically have the same effect and you can consume as much as you want (i'm not talkin about vitamins i mean through food). Carrots are very high in beta-carotene so are excellent try this if you have a juicer, juice 6-8 carrots a day and drink them (their better consumed juiced as you can receive about 70% more nutritional value) in a couple of weeks with a detoxification program you should start to see dramatic results. (length of time it would take varies from person to person). heres some more fruit and veg rich in beta carotene and there values

http://acne.org/What treatment can clear up back/chest acne?
Back acne can be more severe than acne found in other areas of the body. The skin on your back is thicker than the skin on your face and laden with sebaceous glands that produce a lot of that pore clogging oil, sebum.





If your acne, wherever it may be on your body, is not responding to over-the-counter acne medicines, it is best to seek the help of a dermatologist early on. Together, you can reduce the risk of permanent scarring with an acne treatment appropriate for your condition.
