In this video, Dr. Sanusi Umar uses Photodynamic light therapy to treat acne. This is a blue light laser that is effective for treating even the most stubborn and severe acne. Acne is the term for plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples, and even deeper lumps (cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and the upper arms. Acne results from the obstruction and inflammation of the sebaceous glands, and it affects 80% of the human population. Acne scarring is a common problem and severe scarring often cannot be covered by makeup and need professional treatment for removal. To avoid acne scarring, treating acne early is important. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive therapy that utilizes light treatments along with an application of a photosensitizing agent. PDT was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of cancer, and is often used to treat actinic keratosis. It is now being used off label as a safe and effective treatment for acne.
Laser treatments are an effective way to treat your acne. PDT improves the skin's overall texture, and holds promise in the repair of acne scarring. At the FineTouch Dermatology Clinic in Los Angeles, our main goal is to provide you with the most effective and advanced acne scar removal treatment. Our clinics provide advanced dermatology laser treatments for cosmetic needs and medical skin conditions. Apart from the conventional topical and oral treatment modalities, Dr. Umar at the FineTouch Dermatology in Los Angeles employs the use of light treatment technologies (e.g. Clear Light-100) and topical Levulan to treat your acne, while at the same time rejuvenating your skin.
