Pros: any treatment has a Pro. Cons: Redness and swelling. Severe breakout after treatment. Bottom Line: I have been battling acne for over 2 years now and have tried Proactiv. Having had no luck, I gave Blu-U and Levulan a shot. It has been about 6 days now after my first treatment. At first, my face became very red. This lasted for about 4 days. During this redness I did breakout constantly especially around the chin area. I'm guessing because it's really surfacing all the infectious bacteria thats deep down under my skin. These breakouts do leave very dark spots but I'm not at all worried. Being skeptical about a treatment does no good. I'm scheduled for my 2nd appointment in about 4 weeks. And im sure it will be much better. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for about a week. Price Paid: 995.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

Pros: No down time for me! Cons: Face broke out a little. Bottom Line: I have broken out for years. I was fed up and finally went on accutane years ago. The accutane really cleared my skin for a while so i recommend it to anyone who has a month of free time to break out before getting clear! I just got Dusa blue light treatment with Levulan done 2 days ago. Hour sitting with the Levulan on and then 15 mins in front of the light. Face turned red right after and now im breaking out worse than before. Im a pretty positive person, so im hoping in a few days my face will clear. Now, nothing. I will update in a few more days.

Marge, NJ Jul 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: cleared up all acne- my face was perfect Cons: not a long term solution Bottom Line: I had the last of 3 treatments 7 months ago. my skin looked great after the treatments. but about a month after that- i started having the worst acne of my life- leaving behind huge scars- which i never had before these treatments. i am not sure whether this is hormonal or actually linked to the levulan blue light. did anyone else experience worse acne after the treatments than they had before? has anyone heard of a link between these treatments and your acne getting worse?

Linsley, White Plains, NY Jul 1st, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Scars are going away. Cons: After 3rd treatment face got worse. Bottom Line: I was excited at first but after my second levulan i didn't peel or burn or anything. If you have light/moderate acne then this is for you. Recommended: Yes Usage: Linsley has used this item for a few months.

Ed, Chicago Jun 24th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Breakouts have decreased, skin looks smooth and evenly toned, great so far Cons: Look like crap for 4-6 days. But its worth it. Bottom Line: I battled with acne for about 9yrs now, Ive seen friends acheive great results, decided to try it and all is going well going on my 3 treatment on sat. If you can handle the discomfort of looking like crap for 5 days Id say go have the treatment. I prefer to look like crap for 6 days then to have years of acne on my face. The least i can do is tell everyone my experience in hopes of helping others. PROCESS - I have a microderm first, then the application is applied and left on for 40 mins then under the light for 15 mins. I get them every two weeks, I plan on getting 1 more after this week. Hope this helps. Recommended: Yes Usage: Ed has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 400.00 Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Berkeley,CA Jun 10th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Instantly improved skin texture, Acne improved by second treatment, Inexpensive compared to laser treatments, Works on stubborn acne, Not dangerous like some medications (ie. Accutane) Cons: You will have to spend AT LEAST 2-3 days hidden inside if you get a good treatment. Your face will look AWFUL and peel, but spending one weekend a month stuck in your room is totally worth having good skin. Bottom Line: IT WORKS!! Get 3-4 treatments. I paid around $300 per treatment, and I got 4 total. Don't freak out when your skin looks horrible and red right after the treatment. A lot of acne will come to the surface, your skin will hurt and peel and look worse than before the treatment, but just wait it out a few days! The red skin will peel away and both your acne and your skin texture will be improved. For an average treatment, I was fine in 2 days, and for a more intense treatment (like when I was left under the light longer), the peeling would last up to 5 days but the results would be even better.

pandorabowNY, new york, NY Jun 6th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Improved acne, smoother skin... Cons: EXTREMELY painful ! Downtime at least 4 days Bottom Line: I've done 3 treatments, 2 weeks a part . First time was SUPER painful, tears were coming out by themselves, I'm a 24 years old man thoug:)) Second time, I got Advil and it wasn't so bad. After all it smoothed my skin, reduce scars/pores by 10-15 % in some places 0 % :( After 3-4 weeks from the last treatment I felt like I haven't done anything to my skin at all just spent 1500$ in total. Didn't work for me, I'm on Accutane now, works well so far;)) Recommended: No Usage: pandorabowNY has used this item for about a month. Price Paid: 500.00 Was this comment helpful?

Sarah, Canada Jun 4th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: The process is very relaxing! I just had this treatment done 2 days ago...so i'll update you as to the final results! Cons: My face is soooo dry. The first day I looked like a lobster with white eyes and lips...now I look like I have elephant skin, which is starting to peel like Goldmember in the Austin Powers movie. Bottom Line: If this works, it will be worth all of the money and pain in the world. I have suffered for many years with acne and to be free of that emotional pain would be a wonderful blessing!

Anonymous May 5th, 2008 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: i've had moderate acne for 6 years and it got more troublesome in college. i had two of these treatments and my skin is flawless. i get complimented on it all the time and it has made my life so much easier. my red scars are gone now as well. Cons: you can't see the sun for 48 hours. the treatment is a bit uncomfortable and your skin is severely red for about 3 to 4 days (and is peeling as well). Bottom Line: the cost, the week of peeling and redness is worth having absolutely beautiful skin. would recommend over any other treatment for acne and i've literally tried them all.
