ViVA Skin Care Center of Burlington, Mass. announces the addition of BLU-U and Levulan treatments for mild, moderate to severe acne, eliminating Accutane and other antibiotics.

For Immediate Release

BURLINGTON, Mass./EWORLDWIRE/May 25, 2007 --- As both teenagers and many young adults - people in their 20's and 30's - continue to have trouble with acne that is hard to control, BLU-U treatment using blue light from ViVA Skin Care Center of Burlington, Mass., addresses mild, moderate to severe acne without drugs or antibiotics.

Effective, non-invasive and pain-free, BLU-U blue light treats moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. A narrow band of blue light causes a photodynamic effect within the phylosebaceous gland that kills P. acnes, the bacteria primarily responsible for acne vulgaris.

Photodynamic Acne Treatment (PDT) - also called Photodynamic Therapy or ALAPDT treatment - is a new procedure that treats more severe acne as well as older acne scars. PDT is also used with pre-cancerous Actinic Keratosis, also know as AKs, combines the Blu-U light with a special light-activated topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan. The effects are immediate, and many people find that after four or five treatments, the acne is cleared up with only periodic annual maintenance visits needed to maintain the acne-free condition.

All procedures are performed without Accutane or special antibiotics.

A beautiful, full-service, medical-based spa, ViVA Skin Care Center offers a comprehensive range of advanced, medical -grade laser, microdermabrasion and ultrasound services to remove lines, wrinkles, Rosacea, capillaries, veins, brown spots and sun damage.
