We have been using Blu-light treatments for many years and have not found that the Blu-light itself will affect the quality of your skin. The Blu-light does have the ability to kill acne bacteria, which may lead to less acne. But the Blu-light in and of itself cannot improve
acne scars, pore size or texture. It is designed only to kill acne bacteria.
