Will Levulan Give Me a Good Cosmetic Result?

Asked By:KatyMandM in San Francisco Bay Area

My dermatologist recommended Levulan with blue light for sun damage. Can I also expect a good all-over result for wrinkles, evening skin tone, and collagen rebuilding? Are there any downsides to this treatment?
