Dusa – Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy
Dusa – Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses a combination of light and a special photosensitizing agent to target and destroy abnormal skin cells, leaving you with healthier, clearer, and more radiant skin.
What is Dusa – Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy?
Dusa – Blue Light PDT is a non-invasive treatment that uses a special photosensitizing agent called Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) and blue light to target and destroy abnormal skin cells. The Levulan is applied to the skin and left to incubate for a period of time, usually around 30-60 minutes. Then, the skin is exposed to blue light, which activates the Levulan and causes it to destroy the targeted cells.
The treatment is relatively painless and can be completed in as little as 15-30 minutes. However, depending on the condition being treated, multiple sessions may be required.
