Lasers and light-based devices are playing an ever-increasing role in the treatment of acne. Traditionally, acne was treated by topically applied and oral antibiotics. Now, lasers and light-based devices are viable effective alternatives in the treatment of acne. BLU-U is a special blue light treatment that reduces the bacteria in the follicles that causes acne. CoolTouch^® laser is another FDA-approved acne treatment. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown to provide results similar to oral antibiotics. In spite the evidence of the success of these treatments, insurance companies consider them to be cosmetic and will not reimburse for them.
