First Consultation with Dr. Maria Atkins - June 2016. Photo Dynamic Therapy for the First Step

Based on my skin, Dr. Atkins recommended photo dynamic therapy to target sun damage, fine lines and improve blotchy pigmentation. We started with a microdermabrasion treatment, then two applications applied to the skin. After the 2 or so hours for absorption, the light source exposure lasted 15 minutes. I stayed out of the light for 2 full days and at home for approximately 10 days. Redness and peeling. Uncomfortable with stinging and burning and not nice to look at. But the at home wait time was truly worth it! Smoother, clearer and brighter skin. I had the procedure done again in 2017. Since that first session with Dr. Atkins, I have had botox and juvaderm fillers, but that is another review!
