Can PhotoDynamic Therapy treate acne?
Yes, PhotoDynamic Therapy with blue light kills the P. acnes bacteria in your skin which causes acne. The blue light can be administered alone or in conjunction with a topical application of ALA for the treatment of acne vulgaris. Pretreatment with topical ALA may offer additional reduction of lesions, pustules and papules. Studies show that blue light provides treatment for both active lesions and other inactive sebaceous glands that are not creating active lesions.
