Red light with ALA includes a variety of applications including skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, acne (anti-inflammatory), dyschromia of the skin such as pigmentation and rosacea, and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for the treatment of certain non-melanoma skin cancers.

BLU-U® Light with ALA (aminolevulinic acid) 

BLU-U® Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy is used for treating actinic keratoses (AKs) of the face or scalp and is FDA cleared to treat moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris.
