Levulan® Photodynamic Therapy for Severe or Cystic Acne Vulgaris: The Levulan ALA topical solution is applied to the affected areas. It is left on the skin for up to an hour, and then an intense pulsed light treatment is applied for up to. The treatment is relatively painless, although sensations like tingling, stinging and burning can be felt on the areas being treated. Afterwards there is generally redness, some peeling, and sometimes swelling.
Levulan ALA acne treatment works by selectively targeting the sebaceous glands that it is absorbed into. It is converted into a photosensitizer when it has been absorbed, and the IPL then activates it. This leads to shrinking of the sebaceous glands, and destruction of p-bacteria which improves acne.
