Is doxycyclin and blue light therapy safe at the samete Safe? (photos)

Good afternoon.  You're correct in that acne is an inflammatory condition, and our immune cells respond slowly to treatment.  Most of the time, doxycycline has some immediate effect followed by months of continued improvement.  Everyone is different however.  We usually combine oral treatment with meaningful topical treatment like retinoids, etc.You're also correct in that doxycycline is one of those classic photosensitizing drugs - meaning that you'll have to be careful in that Australian sun but also with light-based therapies.  Blue light is close to ultraviolet light so it's something to be cognizant of.  Also, I don't know what type of specific blue light defice they have.  That being said, we do blue light therapy on acne patients on doxy all the time - perhaps start low (in terms of exposure time) and go slow and see how it goes.  I would make sure that a doctor is involved in your care (i.e. make sure your beautician has direct supervision) before proceeding.  Hope that helped!!
