Blu-U Therapy.

Oh what a vain woman won't do to get rid of acne as the result of hormones gone bad from fertility treatments!

Actually, I wouldn't know what that vain woman WOULDN'T do, as I am doing everything I can to resolve a condition I have been living with for the past TWO years... (Which as I mentioned, is a result of unnecessary fertility treatments from aggressive doctors in Boston.)

I have tried everything-under-the-Sun... Including sitting in the Sun, as I heard that can help with acne... But nothing has worked. What have I tried?

• Acupuncture
• Honey & Cinnamon (Works well on non-hormonal acne. Very well.)
• Microdermafusion
• Peels
• Cool laser therapy (Worked well, but not permanent.)
• Regular facials
• Diet changes
• Prescription topical solutions
• Antibiotics (Worked, but who wants to take a pill every day?)
• Orthocept (Ditto the above.)
• Over-the-counter stuff (What a joke!)
• Proactiv (WHAT AN EVEN BIGGER JOKE! MADE THINGS WORSE!)
• Ultrasonic Therapy (Worked, but not long-term.)

So what am I up to now? Well, laser therapy.

I mentioned it a few weeks back. And tonight was my second treatment with the doc. They washed my face and then stuck me in a chair with a contraption that folded-over. It was a blue light... The Blu-U light...

That's me sitting under the Blu-U light. Yes, I had to wear goggles to protect my eyes. Hotness, no?

I am alternating treatments of Blu-U with Photo Rejuvenation every three weeks. After the last session, I noticed a change in the type of acne I was seeing. And the pores around my nose shrunk. Immediately after today's session, my skin was very tight and dry. With either session though, I had no pain and there wasn't any down-time.

We will see what this treatment does. I still have four total treatments left to do over the next few months. Fingers crossed that this hormonal mess on my face goes away!
