It’s FDA approved and safe for most women. Each 10-15 minute treatment may cause mild tool insertion discomfort.

While some improvement may be noticeable after the initial treatment, optimal benefits are typically achieved after three sessions.

Annual touch-up sessions are advised to sustain the effects achieved in your treatment series.

Photodynamic Therapy
Mild to severe acne, appearance of acne scars, and sun damage.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive method of treating common facial skin conditions, such as age spots, rosacea, and acne. By combining a photosensitizing solution called Levulan® and a light source system, photodynamic therapy targets specific skin cells while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed.
What is Photodynamic Therapy used for?
Photodynamic therapy was originally used to treat pre-cancerous lesions. Later, it was used for rosacea, facial wrinkles, sun damage, and age spots. The most recent and innovative treatment is Photodynamic acne therapy, which is becoming a great alternative to medications such as Accutane® for the treatment of mild to moderate acne.
How does PDT work?
A photosensitizer agent is applied to the skin and is absorbed into sebaceous glands. It is then activated by a blue-light is used for 8-12 minutes, which leads to shrinkage of these glands. This results in significant improvement in moderate to severe cystic acne.
Is PDT uncomfortable?
During the PDT treatment, the skin is washed several times and the photosensitizer agent is applied, which may cause a slight stinging sensation. You may have some itching and a mild sunburn feeling immediately following the treatment.
What can I expect for the first week following treatment?
The skin will be extremely red and slightly swollen (most likely around the eyes). This will subside in 3-7 days following the treatment. Applications of ice or cold packs will help. After about 48-72 hours the top layer of your skin will scale, flake, and peel off.
Sun exposure must be avoided for the week following the treatment. You will be given post care instructions and products to help minimize these effects.
What are some side effects?
Although allergic reactions are rare, some patients may experience an allergic reaction to the active agent. Before undergoing photodynamic therapy, we will discuss the side effects, risks, and benefits with you.
