TREATMENT
Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the latest technological treatment. Its impact is similar to Accutane without the significant side effects.
The treatment starts with applying a solution called Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) for a period of one to two hours. The treatment area is then exposed to a light source. At most, a burning sensation similar to that of a sunburn can be felt.
