I had a combination of both ipl and a wave of a blue light done on my face some years ago- though it helped with my skin irritations on my face I don't believe I had got the full pdt treatment I was after (was a beauty place). This time around I went through a skin cancer clinic and had what is called Metvix activated by daylight. So I went in yesterday and they cleansed then slightly pricked my face with this little instrument to allow for the Metvix to absorb more - 10 min under blue light and then 10 min under another white light - sent home and sat outside with it on (not direct sunlight) for 3 hours and then washed off - no pain - little burning when initial Metvix was applied. No discomfort .

I have just had the same treatment under Dave. Now at Day 7 and face is still very red but the skin peeling is almost complete. Can't see myself 'red face' free for at least another four or five days!

Third day (incl treatment day)

Third day - a little swollen, still very red and a little bit of itchiness starting - no pain however I did start a course of antibiotics in case of infection and taking pandol forte just to keep any discomfort under control.
Hang on tight, you will heal with a bit more time. I am also usually slow to heal:(
How are you doing today?
