How it works:
After some preparation and skin cleansing,
Levulan is applied to the skin to remain for a
couple of 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 Levulan
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
Levulan can be equivalent to 5-6 FotoFacial
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.
