Levulon Blu Light Acne Treatment by Karl Swanson MD
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 3 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.

Dear Dr,
Levulan … Dear Dr,
Levulan was showin in phase 2 trials to not be any more effective than control. For this reason it was dropped. My question is, why are you and other doctors, including my own doctor, recommending this treatment for the treatment of acne if clinical trials showed it was ineffective?
Also if this shrinks and reduces sebaceous glands, does this put you at the same risk of scarring from cosmetic procedures that Accutane entails? Remember post accutane, 1 yr no cosmetic surgery!
???
On October 2008 … On October 2008 Dusa Pharmaceuticals announced that it was no longer developing Levulan for the treatment of acne after the phase II results failed to show statistically significant results

I had this done, my blu-light was where I layed on a bed though. I had 2 treatments, and they were Extreme PAINFUL afterwards. It was the equivelant of a mild fire burn for about 1 day, after that, extreme dryness and peeling, and then after 2 weeks my skin looked AMAZING.
My acne dried out, and I still have had great success years later
My doctor told me Models use this stuff weeks before a photoshoot. Only problem no sunshine allowed. Felt like Brad Pitt after this treatment was done.
