Photodynamic Therapy For Acne and Acne Scarring

A non-invasive and safe process by which, Levulan®, a photosensitizing agent is applied to your skin for 30 minutes prior to light treatment. Levulan® is a 20% solution of Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA). The skin cells absorb and convert the solution into a chemical that makes the cells extremely sensitive to light. The affected area is then treated with a Blu-U light which kills the bacteria that triggers acne, and reduces the size of the oil glands. There is minimal recovery time with this treatment.
