Overall, Levulan is seriously changing the way skin rejuvenation is being performed today.
Photodynamic Acne Treatment is a special treatment that involves applying a topical photosensitizing agent, called Levulan, to your skin. Levulan is clear and applying it to the skin is a completely painless process. Once a specific wavelength of light touches the skin, the Levulan is activated for approximately 10 minutes.
