 Photodynamic
therapy was originally developed for the treatment of cancer.
We are only now realizing that there are a number of other
clinical conditions which can respond effectively to this
exciting new technology. PPP is currently utilizing three brand new
Levulan® protocols for the treatment of acne. The cause of acne
is multi factorial. The bacterium P. acnes is responsible for
the majority of cases of acne, which is also aggravated by
excessive sebum production by sebaceous glands.
Research has demonstrated, that visible light has
the ability to destroy the bacteria causing acne by
activation of topically applied Levulan®. In
addition, Levulan® is able to shrink sebaceous
glands, which also play a role in the cause of acne.
Recent studies have shown that weekly treatments
using topically applied Levulan® followed by light
activation have resulted in remarkable improvement
in the severity of patients' acne.
