Green signal for Acne:

Photodynamic treatment is the procedure that combines green light or laser along with photosensitizing solution to treat resistant, hard-to-treat active acne.

Acne results from the swelling of the sebaceous glands, and it affects 80% of the human population. Acne typically begins in adolescence with hormonal changes. Acne is often resistant to treatment.

Green light and photodynamic therapies are attractive options because they are noninvasive, usually well tolerated and can treat many lesions in short sessions. Photodynamic treatment has a special green light-activated solution that targets and destroys acne activity. Photodynamic treatment also diminishes older acne scars & reduces pigmentation leaving your skin smoother. The procedure is called Photodynamic Therapy.

The Levulan, which is a clear painless solution, is applied to your skin and left on for 15-60 minutes. It is then activated with a specific wavelength of light called BLU-U or Clear-Light. This takes about 8-10 minutes.

At Plastic Surgery Institute of California, the Photodynamic treatment advantages are rapid treatment of acne lesions all over the face, no scarring, no surgical excisions and no systemic side effects. The skin appears refreshed and younger.

Plastic Surgery Institute of California understands the worth of a beautiful face, as face is the autobiography of the person you are.
