For those of us who still suffer from acne, I am quite sure you are still searching for the best treatment for adult acne. Well, there is alot of talk about this FDA-Approved blue light base therapy. Have you heard? It's called Photodynamic Therapy. And it is suppose to be one of the best for adult acne treatment since slice bread.
Photodynamic Therapy kills bacteria caused by acne. According to a report published in 2004 by the American Academy of Dermatology, you only need three treatments to see a decrease in acne by 83%.
This is how Photodynamic light therapy works. An amino acid called Levulinic is put on your face first. And this has to be left on your face for 45 minutes to 1 hour for this medicine to absorb through the skin cells. When the time is up, this acid has to be remove from your face. After this is done, this is when Photodynamic Therapy is used and as it is being use, this will activate the levulinic(amino acid) that is already on your skin . The Photodynamic light therapy with the Levulinic, will help kill the bacteria in your skin without any side effects. This light therapy will shrink the two oil glands in our skin called the sebaceous and the sebum . These two oil glands have alot to do with the way the acne is presented on our face.
This Photodynamic light therapy is good for those who have tried topical creams in the past and they just didn't work for you. And it is also for people who just cannot use topical creams and gels at all. If you are still having a problem with acne, then maybe you should look into this. Once the treatment is done, it will take 4 weeks before you will see results. And also what you need to know is, after the treatment is done, you cannot go out into the sun for two days. And if you need to, then you need to cover up really well. You will definitely have to work out your schedule before you do these treatments.
