Explained step by step for aesthetics professionals.

🔬 CLINICAL PROTOCOL

If you work in professional aesthetics, acne-prone skin is part of your everyday routine. We apply protocols, combine specific cosmetics and, increasingly, incorporate technology such as the blue laser in the treatment room.

And when you understand how the milesman Blauman laser acts on acne-prone skin, the way you work changes. You fine-tune your protocols better, you know what to expect in the days that follow, you convey greater confidence to your client and you work with far more judgement.

In this article we are going to look, step by step, at what happens in acne-prone skin before, during and after treatment with the Blauman blue laser, based on real clinical evidence.

1. What happens in acne-prone skin before treatment

 

In acne-prone skin, a fairly well-known sequence tends to repeat itself in the treatment room:

  • Increased sebum – follicular hyperseborrhoea
  • Cell build-up inside the follicle
  • Difficulty draining and microcomedones
  • Proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes

This bacterium produces porphyrins, natural compounds that absorb blue light very efficiently.
👉 This detail is the starting point of the entire blue laser treatment.

2. The role of porphyrins: the “target” of the blue laser

 

The porphyrins produced by Cutibacterium acnes accumulate in the inflamed follicle, becoming the perfect target for the blue laser.

From the laser’s point of view, this is very important because:

  • ✅ they are localised
  • ✅ they absorb blue light at 450 nm
  • ✅ they allow a selective, precise action

Put simply: the blue laser acts where the skin needs it, without affecting the surrounding tissue.

Acne - blue laser treatment

3. How the Blauman blue laser acts in the treatment room (step by step)

 

Blauman by milesman makes it possible to work on acne-prone skin in an orderly way thanks to the combination of two spot sizes within a single protocol.

The logic behind the Blauman treatment →
You prepare the skin
·
You act with precision
·
You rebalance the skin again

STEP 1 Global preparation pass (1 cm² spot)

  • Act uniformly across the skin surface
  • Reduce the surface bacterial load
  • Prepare the skin for more localised work

STEP 2 Focal work on active lesions (0.3 mm² spot)

  • The energy is concentrated on a very precise point
  • Action is taken only where there is visible activity
  • There is no bleeding or extended thermal damage

Sensation experienced by the client: mild and well tolerated

STEP 3 Global closing pass (1 cm² spot)

  • The porphyrins absorb blue light at 450 nm
  • That absorption generates singlet oxygen, an active form of oxygen
  • This active oxygen acts on the bacteria inside the follicle

Put simply: blue light activates the oxygen so that it acts precisely where the bacteria are, without damaging healthy tissue.

This final step also: makes the skin’s response more uniform, reinforces the soothing effect and leaves the skin more balanced after the session.

4. What happens in the skin in the hours and days that follow

 

⏱️ First hours: clean, balanced skin
📆 Day 1–2: visible reduction in redness
⏳ 72 h: many lesions are no longer visible
📌 7 days: a more even appearance
🗓️ Weeks: fewer new lesions appearing

5. Clinical evidence for the Blauman blue laser: what the studies show

 

The use of the Blauman blue laser on acne-prone skin is not based on experience alone, but on clinical studies carried out specifically with this technology and this wavelength.

📘 “Clinical evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the milesman blue laser on inflammatory acne lesions” (Gaias Research, approved by AEMPS).
Conclusion: milesman Blauman is effective, safe and well accepted for mild and moderate acne.

6. Clinical conclusions and the value of the treatment

 

The clinical and histological study “Treatment of inflammatory acne with a high-power diode laser (milesman Blauman®)”, by Dr Mario A. Trelles, shows that milesman Blauman is effective, safe and well tolerated on papules and pustules.

📊 Result in a single session – Trelles study

Parameter evaluatedResult with milesman Blauman
Type of studyClinical, prospective, blind evaluation
Patients10 patients (97 lesions treated)
Sessions1 single session
Reduction in lesions
64% in 3 weeks
(p = 0.0051)
Skin repairRapid and complete (epidermis and dermis)
ScarringNone observed
PainMild–moderate (mean 3.5/10)
SafetyNo relevant complications
Patient satisfactionHigh (mean 8.4/10)
Therapist satisfactionVery high (mean 9/10)
🎯 Conclusion: milesman Blauman positions itself as an effective, safe tool for inflammatory acne, standing out for its ability to reduce lesions in a short time, minimise the risk of scarring and deliver excellent tolerance and clinical satisfaction.

7. Treatment-room protocol: facial hygiene and blue laser

 

  1. Professional facial hygiene tailored to the condition of the skin
  2. Preparation: clean, dry skin
  3. Global pass with the blue laser (1 cm² spot)
  4. Focal and perilesional work (0.3 mm² spot)
  5. Final closing pass (1 cm² spot)
  6. Soothing post-treatment cosmetics
  7. Session planning with maintenance according to progress

8. Frequently asked questions from professionals

 

On which type of skin does it make most sense to work with the Blauman blue laser?
Mainly on skin presenting active inflammatory papules and pustules. The blue laser stands out on isolated lesions that require immediate focal action, within a well-planned aesthetic protocol.
Is the blue laser used only on the lesion or across the whole area?
In the Blauman protocol the two are combined: a global pass for the surrounding skin + focal action on papules and pustules.
How many sessions are usually needed?
As a guide, an initial cycle of 3 sessions, spaced roughly every 15 days. Improvement is usually visible from the very first session.
Which aesthetic treatments can Blauman be combined with?

The Blauman blue laser integrates very well into complete treatment-room protocols, especially with:

  • Specific cosmetic treatments
  • Devices used in facial hygiene
  • Radiofrequency, to support tissue regeneration processes
What does the blue laser bring to an aesthetic protocol?
It brings a selective, precise and well-tolerated action, which makes it possible to work on active lesions with greater control and to support the skin’s progress gradually.

⚡ Technology matters.

Knowledge is what makes the difference.
