PDT Acne
Stop the embarrassment of acne without messy creams, slow acting antibiotics, prescription medication, and pain or interruption of your lifestyle. Finally, there is a safe and effective alternative to treating acne that also leaves your skin looking more youthful and rejuvenated. This clinical breakthrough has helped adults and teenagers win the battle against stubborn acne and has quickly become a frequently recommended alternative by dermatologists.
PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT), also known as ALA/PDT, is a treatment performed with a topical photosensitizing agent called Levulan® (5-aminolevulinic acid or ALA) that is applied to your skin and then activated with the correct wavelength of light. These treatments remove sun damaged precancerous spots called Actinic Keratoses. Treatments also improve sun- damaged skin, fine lines, blotchy pigmentation, and rough skin patches. PhotoDynamic Therapy treatment has the unique ability to minimize pores and reduce oil glands—effectively treating stubborn acne vulgaris, acne, Rosacea, and improving the appearance of some acne scars.
You will see improvement after each treatment. People with severe sun damaged skin, Actinic Keratoses, rough skin patches, poor skin texture, and uneven pigmentation may see excellent results. Treatment improves the appearance of large pores and some acne scars. Active acne can improve dramatically.
