How it works:
After some preparation and skin cleansing,
Aminolevulinic Acid is applied to the skin and
allowed to remain for several hours. After this incubation period,
the skin is then given a light treatment. The
patient is sent home with a strict home care
regimen for the next week or so. Because ALA-PDT
allows the skin to be more sensitive to the
light, patients will need to avoid the sun and
any bright light for a few days. The first few
days are also the most vital as the skin repairs
itself. Signs of a beet red, scabbed, and
peeling appearance are very
common. This is actually a good sign that means
new skin is coming soon! Typically, after 5-10
days, this new skin shows a brighter, cleaner,
smoother and more universal color.
Because
ALA-PDT can be equivalent to 5-6 PhotoFacial
treatments, the results can be astounding and
worth the few days of down time. If you have any
questions about this incredible treatment,
please contact us to schedule a Free personal
consultation.
