Does Photodynamic Therapy Really Increase Collagen Production?

busyindc
According to an article published on Medline Plus in Oct. 08, "Photodynamic therapy appears to cause molecular-level changed in aging skin that increase collagen production". When I asked a local dr. about this, she said Light-Activated Therapy is only being used on cancer patients. It makes sense that collagen production is the key. What are your comments?
