Photodynamic
skin rejuvenation involves the application of
Levulan®, a photosensitizing agent activated by
a light source.
What
can Levulan treat?
• Pre-cancerous conditions such as Actinic Keratosis
• Moderate to Severe Cystic Acne
• Sebaceous Hyperplasia (overactive oil glands)
Why
do I need to use a laser to treat bad acne when
I can just use medications?
Levulan is indicated when acne is non-responsive
to topical or oral acne therapy. Levulan also
does not cause any severe organ damage like Accutane®
can.
How
long is the treatment and how many are recommended?
Up to 1 hour. A series of 1-3 treatments 2-4 weeks
apart.
