Photodynamic Therapy

A remarkable treatment for resistant acne uses the sophistication of light-based technology (IPL) combined with a safe, naturally occurring topical chemical (Levulan). Cases of hard-to-treat, severe and persistent acne show striking improvement and can suppress acne for months to years with 2-3 treatments. This procedure is a highly effective treatment for rosacea, acne, and sun damage. Photodynamic therapy improves some early acne scarring and can achieve results like accutane without the side effects. Sun damage, fine lines, and blotchy pigmentation are also improved because of the positive effect of Levulan and the light treatment, which also has the unique ability to minimize pores and reduce oil glands. Photodynamic therapy results in clearer, smoother, brighter and more even skin.
