How safe is it? Are there any side effects? 

The Blue Light treatment is very safe. The blue-violet light penetrates just deep enough into the tissue to reach the acne target. It contains no ionizing radiation. Even though there is no evidence of complications, we will not perform this treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
