Answer: Photodynamic Therapy Photodynamic therapy not only helps with the treatment and prevention of subclinical precancerous spots from becoming clinically evident, but also helps with the improvement of brown spots and redness. It is ideal if an IPL is used to activate the levulan. It's great for complete photorejuvenation.

Answer: The answer is yes, based on the type of light source that is used Thanks for your question – and the answer is yes, based on the type of light source that is used. The conventional method of PDT in the US – with blue light – will have little effect on pigment in most. But if an IPL is used, either alone or with the blue light, then significant changes can be seen in the pigment concerns that you are describing, as well as helping with the sun damaged skin. You need to have a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist who understands PDT and who understands the proper use of lasers and light sources to maximize the treatment for you.

Answer: PDT for Brown Spots? No, regular PDT does not remove brown spots unless it is combined with the appropriate laser. Regular PDT treatments target precancerous keratoses, but does not provide cosmetic improvement unless combined with another laser treatment. It is best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist to determine the brown spot removal treatment that's best for you.
