October 2010
When old topical standbys-benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, sulphur-are defeated by persistent pimples,
dermatologists will administer photo and heat treatments in their offices. New advances in blue-light therapy—which penetrates the skin's surface
with a bacteria-killing light—allow domestic devices to emit a comparable amount of energy to those used by the pros. And while an in-office
procedure will set you back roughly $1,000 for a full series, the new Tria Skin Perfecting System (from the same company that developed the
only FDA-approved at-home hair-removal laser) and Tanda Clear Acne Light Therapy Treatment are less than $300 each. Clinical studies of both
look promising: With four weeks of consistent use, they not only cleared zits but also improved overall skin tone by at least 70 percent.
