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.
