Levulan
Photodynamic Therapy For Sun Damage, Wrinkles,
& Pigmentation
These
treatments remove sun damaged precancerous zones
and spots called actinic keratoses. Sun damage,
fine lines, and blotchy pigmentation are also
improved because of the positive effect of Levulan
and the light treatment.
Photodynamic
skin rejuvenation involves the application of
Levulan, photosensitizing agent, which is then
activated with the laser. This results in significant
improvement in precancerous 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,
sebaceous hyperplasia, and potentially prevents
the development of skin cancer. This treatment
also has the unique ability to reduce oil glands,
effectively treating stubborn acne vulgaris, acne
rosacea, and improve the appearance of some acne
scars. Levulan is revolutionizing how we perform
skin rejuvenation to treat damaged skin.
Photodynamic
Therapy with Levulan is ideal for:
• Removing precancerous skin lesions
• Preventing skin cancer
• Improving wrinkles
• Improving pores
• Improving skin texture
• Improving pigmentation
• Treating moderate to severe cystic acne
Duration:
Up to 1 Hour. To achieve maximum improvement sun
damage, skin tone and texture, a series of 2-3
treatments 2-4 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.
