"
I don't know about treating acne but I used my ~100mW 405 on a toenail
fungus infection on my left great toe with teriffic success. I had
read about how toxic some of the prescription treatments are so I
thought I'd try some very intense near UV light on the fungus. I
played the unfocused laser output on the infected area of the toenail
once a day for a week then I waited for the nail to grow out and
sunuvagun if the nail didn't grow out normally without the
discoloration and 'knobbyness' the fungus was causing. Ah, the
miracles of coherent light 8-)
