Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for Acne
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a new treatment available, which utilizes
blue light to help control inflammatory acne and the marks that it
leaves. It has had remarkable results for those who suffer from
adolescent or adult acne. The treatment is painless and takes less than
an hour to perform. Photodynamic Therapy actually eliminates the
bacteria that causes acne. When the skin is exposed to PDT, the light
enters the sebaceous glands that harbor the bacteria. In turn, the blue
light creates toxic oxygen molecules within the acne-causing bacteria
that then destroy the bacteria and helps the healing process. With the
bacteria gone, the acne begins to clear up and the skin begins to heal.
This modality provides another treatment course for those with resistant
acne.
Photodynamic Therapy For Pre-Cancerous Lesions
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment for pre-cancerous
lesions on the skin known also as actinic keratoses. Actinic keratoses
are rough, scaly patches on the skin caused by excessive exposure to the
sun. Left untreated, they can eventually develop into skin cancers. PDT
is an innovative and easy treatment for these lesions. The first step in
the treatment is the application of a photosensitizing medication called
levulan. The levulan is selectively absorbed by pre-cancerous and
cancerous skin cells, and makes them more sensitive to light. After
waiting an appropriate amount of time for the levulan to be absorbed
(actual time will vary but can be up to 2 hours), the treatment area is
exposed to a Blue Light (BLU-U) for a short time, which activates the
levulan, and destroys the targeted lesions. It is very important to
avoid exposure to bright light and/or direct sunlight during the 48
hours after the treatment. The results of the treatment are often
maintained for many years if careful sun protection is followed
thereafter. |
