Levulan
Photodynamic Therapy
for Sun Damage, Wrinkles
& Pigmentation
Photodynamic skin rejuvenation involves the application
of Levulan, a photosensitizing agent which is activated
with laser. This results in significant improvement
in pre-cancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis,
actinically damaged skin, moderate to severe cystic
acne and potentially superficial skin cancers. Additionally
it improves wrinkles, pore size, skin texture, pigmentation,
rosacea and sebaceous hyperplasia. This treatment
also has the unique ability to reduce oil glands,
effectively treating stubborn acne, acne rosacea and
acne scars. Levulan is evolutionizing how we perform
skin rejuvenation to treat damaged skin.
Session
Duration:
Up to 1 hour
To achieve maximum improvement, a series of 3 treatments
4 weeks apart is most effective. Some patients are
happy with one treatment. More treatments can be done
at periodic intervals in the future to maintain the
rejuvenated appearance of the skin.
