ALA-PDT is a highly effective treatment designed for those suffering with severely sun damaged skin or pre-cancerous skin cells (Solar Keratoses). The treatment works with photochemical reactions through the interaction of photosensitising agents (ALA aminolevulinic acid) and light (PDT Photodynamic Therapy) to rejuvenate the skin. This treatment can prevent the development of skin cancer.
ALA-PDT should be recommended by your Dermatologist. This treatment is suitable for people concerned with severely sun damaged skin, redness, pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Not suitable for those with photosensitive disorders, infections, peanut allergy or pregnancy.
-
Is ALA-PDT painful?
There is some discomfort experienced with this treatment. During the treatment the sensation is described as being like an elastic band flicking the skin accompanied by heat. Some areas on the face are more sensitive than others such as upper cheeks and nose. The bright laser can make the eyes sensitive temporarily. The skin can feel like severe sunburn post treatment however cooling will be provided to alleviate any discomfort during or after the treatment.
-
How long is the treatment?
There are two appointments on the same day to administer ALA-PDT. During the fi rst appointment the skin is prepped with ALA, this takes half an hour. The ALA is left on the skin for 3.5 hours before coming back to the clinic for the Photodynamic Therapy component which takes 45 minutes to complete.
-
What is the expected downtime after treatment?
All skin types are diff erent therefore downtimes can vary. Swelling, redness and bruising can last anywhere between 5-7 days post treatment. Temporary darkening of the skin can occur for up to 7-14 days. Micro-crusting and peeling can occur on the face between days 3-5. If the skin bruises then this can last anywhere between 5-7 days.
