Blu-U Levulan PDT at Laser Genesis Skin Clinic
You’ve tried every acne treatment, cream, and anti-biotic in existence and yet you still can’t get rid of it. Fear not, Laser Genesis has what you need.
Known as a form of PDT (Photo Dynamic Treatment), Blu-U Levulan is a two-step treatment that is non-invasive. If you haven’t found a solution to your acne, then this treatment might just be the thing you’re looking for.
Post Levulan Treatment Guidelines
Following the treatment the patient is instructed to stay away from direct light and avoid the sun for 48 hours.
It is highly important to observe proper skin cleansing procedures and application of appropriate skin moisturizing and sunscreen agents.
The sun damaged spots or acne scars may appear a bit darker and scabby initially.
They will clear out once the peeling is finished revealing a clearer and healthier skin.
For very mild acne, BLU-light treatments can be done without the Levulan application.
The bacteria in the Acne release porphyrins which are naturally occurring substances in the body, arising from the breakdown of haemoglobin in RBC.
The Blue-light is absorbed by the porphyrins thus destroying the bacteria. This stand alone treatment simply involves the patient sitting in front of Blue-light lamp for 10-20 minutes.
Two sessions per week over a 4-week period are usually required to see any significant improvement.
