Photodynamic Therapy - Portland, Oregon
I Had Photodynamic Therapy to treat my preskin cancerous cells on the surface of my skin. I also suffer from Rosecea and sun damage and some acne. My face was cleaned with some alcohol and then Levulan. It tingled but was not painful. I sat with it on my face for 1 hour then sat with a...
Photodynamic therapy for precancerous lesions
I am 48 and my doctor saw a legion on my nose she did not like . I met with two dermatologists and both recommended the levulan photodynamic therapy. The actual process was easy and not as painful as others described. I waited two hours in the office with the stuff on my face. I watched...

I'm Sooo Glad I Did It!! - Northridge, CA
I had some acne for most of my teenage life but it didn't get really bad until my 20's. I would constantly have breakouts of cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. Over the years it caused me to have very bad scarring. I would feel extremely insecure if I didn't have loads of concealer on my face....
Photodynamic Light Therapy - not sure if it is worth it yet
I had my first treatment July 22. I am not sure if it is worth it yet, I will update in the future. First they clean your face with some sort of abrasive pad and acetone, not fun at all. I wasn’t prepared for the first few days to be miserable, not a lot of pain just burn, light sensitivity, t...
PDT of Nose/forehead - 37 Year Old
I elected to have PDT done to treat an AK on my nose. As I had 4 BCCs cut out before I was 30, I am pretty high risk and so chose to have PDT done on a larger area as a preventative, rather than using Efudix on my nose and looking like a mess for a whole month. The plan was to do half my face...
Omnilux and Levulan Photodymanic Blue Light Therapy
I have had cystic acne my whole life that causes me extreme discomfort. Sometimes the cysts on my face are so bad that they cause the lymph nodes on my head and neck to swell up to the size of marbles! A dermatologist at "Riverchase Dermatology" in Fort Myers Florida, recommended that I try...
PDT for Actinic Keratosis
Had the PDT done today. After reading reviews, I was so nervous for the treatment but it was a piece of cake. I sat with Levulan on for an hour then I sat under the light for 16 minutes and 41 seconds (so random). There was a slight stinging/burning but nothing intolerable at all. I’m about 2 h...
Great Experience!
I was a sun worshiper in my day, and as a result had a lot of brown and red spots. I elected to do the Photodynamic Therapy treatment, the results were amazing. I didn’t realize how bad the brown spots were looking at the same old face every day. I then decided to take the red spots out, and a...
Levulan
Hi All, This is my first review on RealSelf. I am a private person when it comes to sharing photos of my treatments. However, I need to share this awful experience I had with levulan. I had some acne on my back and was looking for a solution that worked. I had been trying creams for a long time...
