Treatment for: Acne/acne-prone skin, actinic keratosis, precancerous lesions, sun damage
How it works:
Photodynamic therapy, also known as PDT is a procedure that treats a combination of changes in facial skin, as well as significant sun damage. It is especially helpful for removing pre-cancerous spots, treating acne and actinic keratosis, eliminating irregular pigmentation, and improving the overall texture and appearance of your skin. Photodynamic skin  rejuvenation utilizes intense pulsed light (IPL) or another light source in combination with Levulan, also known as aminolevulinic acid (ALA). Levulan is applied topically to the whole area to be treated. The Levulan is left on the skin to “incubate” and then activated with the appropriate light source.
What to expect:
PDT for skin rejuvenation usually consists of 2 to 4 treatmentsat three week intervals. Following the treatment, one can expect the skin to look mildly red or even sunburned. This redness can be expected to last for a few days. The skin gradually improves with a more even colored tone, smaller pore size, smoother texture, and a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Reduction in overall sun damage, as well as pre cancerous lesions and potential early skin cancer changes can also be expected. PDT therapy is very effective for the face, neck, arms, chest, hands, torso or legs.
