What Are The Side Effects Of A Blue Light Therapy?
my dermatologist has scheduled me for what she referred to as blu light therapy. some kind of cream is put on my face and head (I m bald), then I sit under a light (blu light?) for 16 minutes. She didn t really say why or tell me about side effects. I ve had several (5) basal cell carcinomas removed from my face and head over the last 25 years or so but have none now. I m 72. What are the side effects and is this a reasonable treatment?
