What is the Treatment?
The
Treatment offers effective, non-invasive and pain-free treatment for
moderate acne vulgaris (a.k.a. acne),
a condition affecting millions of adults, teens and children.
The Treatment is not a laser. It emits safe,
cool visible to provide an effective solution for acne
removal.
How does the Levulan® PDT System work?
The
first step is to have a Levulan® Kerastick®
topical solution applied to the acne and the individual Actinic Keratoses on the skin. This solution
makes the acne and Actinic Keratoses more sensitive to light, which
prepares the skin for the second step in the process.
After leaving the topical solution on the skin for 45-60 minutes,
therapy continues with a Treatment. A
Treatment session lasts 4-8 minutes and can cause minimal discomfort
because of the nature of the Levulan®
Kerastick® topical solution. This discomfort
usually improves immediately after treatment and ends within 24
hours.
After treatment is completed, almost all patients experienced
some temporary reddening and some patients experienced minimal
swelling of the acne, Actinic Keratoses and the surrounding
skin. Generally all reddening was gone by 4 weeks after
treatment and swelling was reduced or non-existent after 1-2
days.
