PDT is becoming the treatment of choice for resistant, hard to treat active acne and acne scars. Conventional treatments include over the counter cleansers, lotions, prescription antibiotics, and hormonal therapy. There have been emerging problems with conventional acne treatments, specifically antibiotic resistance of P. acnes and fears, over the safety and tolerance of oral isotretinoin. Now there is a safe new treatment Blu-u enhanced with ALA PDT.
What is Blu-u Enhanced Treatment with ALA?
ALA-Levulan is a clear painless topical photo sensitizer that is applied to the skin to be absorbed by active cells like acne, sebaceous glands, and actinic keratosis. It is used after a Microdermabrasion or cleansing the skin with a medical grade acetone. A special wavelength of light (Blu-u) or IPL is then used to activate ALA-Levulon in a controlled fashion.
ALA-PDT/Blu-u protocol is usually three treatments with three weeks between each visit.

- It is a local treatment without having negative systemic side effects.
- Skin looks clear, shines, bright, and rejuvenated
- It shrinks pores
- It gets rid of precancerous lesions
- It is very effective and provides long lasting results for acne
