Will the Gentle Waves LED cause an acne breakout in adults currently dealing with acne issues? Can you be using Retin A topical and be on doxycycline while getting Gentle Waves?

Gentlewaves will not cause acne
Gentlewaves is low level light emitting diode technology. It will not cause or flare acne. It has an anti-inflammatory action, so theoretically it could improve acne.
Although doxycycline can cause UV sensitivity, I have never seen a photo reaction from this LED source.
