Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: exposing tissue containing acne bacteria to at least one source of narrowband, multichromatic electromagnetic radiation having at least one dominant emissive wavelength of from about 300 nm to about 1400 nm, wherein the dominant emissive wavelength approximately corresponds with an absorption maxima of the tissue; operating the at least one source of narrowband, multichromatic electromagnetic radiation at a power output of about 20 mW or lower and at an energy fluence in the range of about 0.01 J/cm observing a reduction in acne bacteria present on or in the tissue, wherein the narrowband, multichromatic electromagnetic radiation has a bandwidth less than or equal to about +/
