Is Levulan Kerastick with Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy Illuminator effective on melasma, freckles and acne? (Photo)

samantha2177
Have any dermatologist used this procedure on a patient with melasma? Did it work? How many days did it take to clear up? How many tratments were needed? If not what other treatment should I considered? My dermatologist said that IPL can cause white patches due to my skin tone. I do use sunblock and hats to avoid further damage on my skin. Thank you in advance!!!
