In Photodynamic Acne Laser Treatment, a specialized medicine is spread across the skin and then treated with blue laser light. The process is used to clear up acne and remove related scarring.
Skin Effects
Following the treatment, the skin area will become red. The following day it will begin to peel. This is a normal, but somewhat unpleasant part of the treatment.
Swelling
The skin around the eyes and the lips of patients may swell during the days immediately following treatment.
Pigment changes
Liver spots and other discolorations may become darker following the treatment; however, some of these spots may eventually peel off, revealing normally colored skin.
Photosensitivity
The medicine used for the treatment will make skin photosensitive for around twenty-four hours. During this time, skin can easily become sunburned, so patients are advised to remain indoors.
Considerations
While Photodynamic Acne Laser Treatments are generally safer than treatments used before their invention, patients should seek the advice of a dermatologist before obtaining any type of treatment for acne.
