Introducing Bling Bling Mini.

Effectively clears 90% of newly formed acne within 24 hours.

The Science behind Bling Bling Mini.

How does it work?

The bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes (P.acnes) is largely responsible for acne development. It is both light and heat sensitive.

Bio Ceramic Far-infrared to induce controlled heat shock response.

The heat shock response occurs in virtually all organisms, including P. acnes. This response occurs when a heat stress is imposed on the bacteria. Heat shock proteins are induced in large quantities during this response and these proteins act by breaking down components of P.acnes leading to eradication of the bacteria and clearing of acne.

420nm Blue Light

P.acnes is known to naturally produce high amounts of intracellular porphyrins. These porphyrins are photosensitive. When porphyrins absorb light of certain wavelengths, in particular blue light, free radical damage is produced, and this in turn destroys the bacteria.

Bling Bling Mini works by utilising both bio ceramic far-infrared and 420nm blue light to bring about destruction of P.acnes. The area treated is gently heated to 46.5 to 49.5 degrees celsius over 2 and a half minutes. Simultaneously the treatment tip emits blue light over the treatment area. The combination of these two technologies lead to effective clearing of acne, while at the same time, leaving the surrounding skin intact.

Treatment with the Bling Bling Mini is safe and painless.

Newly formed acne is most suitable for this treatment. Efficacy has been observed for older mild to moderate acne but may require multiple applications and a longer duration. Severe cases of acne will require medical consultation.

My Opinion:

I think this little gadget really does get rid of your acnes really fast, especially those acnes without a head, it will get rid of the swelling and redness overnight.

I got this way back in 2010, and have used it for several months, but then I've started to notice that I keep on breaking out in exactly the same spot. I'm starting to suspect that the break out might be related to this gadget, and although I've stopped using it, even after 2 years I still keep on breaking out in exactly the same spot where the gadget has been applied, and it is always the cystic type that will stay on forever. Right now I have this ginormous acne on my chin, and it has been there for nearly 3 months......

Update 1 October 2013:

I've stopped using this gadget because I'm fairly sure that this is the reason why I keep on breaking out at the exact same spot. Although after using it the acne will shrink, it's only temporary, and once you stop using it it'll come back again.
