Photodynamic Therapy + Peeling Q&A

I had a TCA peel with a derm, but it was too deep and left me with chemical burns, at the end it left me with hypopigmentation all around my face. The hypopigmentation zones are not depigmented (they are just a bit lighter than my normal color). The procedure was done a year ago. Are they gonna be repigmented again? I still have black hair follicles, is that correct that phototerapy can help with repigmentation if there are still melanocytes in hair follicle? Thank you

Had levulan applied waited 2 hours then blu light therapy for 17 minutes. Felt burning on face for 2 days followed instruction now one week later, very slight peeling and no real results noticed.

Hi . Why does ala -pdt cause the skin to peel . Is there a known mechanism of action or is it just a side effect ?

Hello, A week after the procedure , I have not experienced any tingling /redness/peeling during or / after the procedure. Also, and my precancerous cells feel the same ( like dry patch). Did the therapy work? Every site I have read up on, the I individual experiencing redness/peeling /tightness/ swelling . I had spf on my face prior to the procedure and used face wipes to clean, and then wiped with alcohol pad, prior to the solution being applied. I'm wondering if this did not take? Thx

9 days ago I had PDT on my lower legs. I am still not peeling, nor am I experiencing any other effects other than some red spots that are fading. The scaly areas or barnacles are not gone. So cosmetically, I see no difference. Did the treatment do anything at all? I am disappointed. My follow up with the derm PA is in one month.
