Will Blue Light burn my skin?

I have very fair, sensitive skin. Is the blue light powerful enough to irritate or burn my skin? I sunburn very easily.

Thanks for your inquiry.

Blue light is used to target and reduce the symptoms of very mild skin infections--acne or skin irritation. If used by a qualified therapist, it should be safe to use.

The blulight is not the same kind of light as sunlight and will not burn the skin. In addition, most Blu-U treatments are limited to 20 minutes.
