Is there an acne laser treatment available?  I'd like to zap the acne from my face!

I have been extremely impressed with the results of PDT for acne.  Patients are pre-treated with a topical medication stick called Levulan, and then undergo IPL or blue light therapy.  The results are amazing.  Good luck.
