BLU-U Photodynamic
Acne & AntiAging Treatments

Photodyanamic therapy is an enhanced phototherapy treatment for acne and anti-aging when aminolevulnic Acid (ALA) is applied and absorbed preferentially to the targeted area prior to the light exposure. ALA is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is selectively absorbed into the sebaceous glands, discolored, thickened epidermis or, precancerous growth areas. When activated by specific wavelength light, it produces super oxygen molecules that destroy the target cells.

Photodynamic therapy with ALA is well tolerated and very effective in improving aged skin by reducing pigmentary deposits, wrinkling, and abnormal skin growth. It's also a faster and more effective way to improve pustular acne, compared to simple phototherapy.
