photodyanmic therapy PDT

Photodyanmic Therapy (PDT). PDT is a non-invasive treatment and
works in conjunction with light or laser sources. PDT provides a
remarkable advance in the treatment of sun damaged skin,
precancerous spots, rosacea and acne. PDT therapy can often
eradicate sun spots that could become skin cancer.

PDT is used in our clinic to supplement and enhance IPL and/or
Blu-U treatments. We will assess your skin and make appropriate
recommendations. PDT may be used to boost IPL photorejuvenation
therapy thus improving skin tone and texture, reduce pore size and
significantly improve the red and brown discoloration of skin from
sun damage or flushing. PDT may be recommended to treat
rosacea, sun damage or acne. A program will be tailored to your
needs and lifestyle.

What's the difference between IPL, Blu-U and photodynamic
therapy (PDT)?

IPL photorejuvenation and Blu-U are two treatments which use a
source of light to treat skin. Photodynamic therapy is combination of
one of these above treatments with a topically applied solution
(Levulan). The solution enhances the effects of IPL
Photorejuvenation and Blu-U treatments.

Which combination is right for me?
Dr. Brandish will recommend what's best for your skin after
assessing your skin in a consultation.
