Levulan Photodynamic Therapy – Acne Skin Care Treatment
Acne Skin Care treatments using Levulan Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is the most recent advance in acne therapy. Clear Choice was one of the first clinics in Washington to offer this revolutionary acne skin care treatment. We have excellent results treating men and women of all ages from all over the Olympia area. Photodynamic acne therapy involves the application of Levulan (5-aminolevulinic acid), a photosensitizing agent, which is then activated with a blue light. This results in significant improvement in moderate to severe cystic acne.
The Clear light and Levulan acne treatment involves three mechanisms of action against acne. Levulan treatment inactivates the bacteria that trigger acne, exfoliates the skin to unclog pores, and the most exciting mechanism is that levulan treatment shuts down the sebaceous glands in the skin. This is exciting because sebaceous glands are the root cause in the formation of acne so it has a long lasting effect even on severe acne.
Levulan acne therapy can even work in patients who have failed accutane. Accutane also targets the sebaceous gland but accutane has fairly toxic side effects. Levulan is a very safe alternative to accutane treatment.
