Levulan Blue Light Acne Treatment Reviews

I had blu u with levulan almost a year ago. At first I looked horrible, and my acne got worse. After the second treatment, I had the same reaction. About 3-4 weeks after my second treatment, my skin really cleared up! It stayed clear for a good 4 months. I am currently going through the treatment again without ala, due to pregnancy. I have not seen any improvement yet, but I am just getting started.

I would say that if you have tried many things to clear up your acne, and nothing works, it is worth a shot. I have also done one round of accutane about 7 years ago. This would be my best advice for acne treatment! It really works, if you are a candidate for it. My skin was totally clear for over 2 years!

Levulan in my opinion is a TOTAL SCAM AND WORTHLESS TREATMENT. MADE MY ACNE WORSE AFTER 2 TREATMENTS! I did two more after my doctor encouraged me to wait it out. $1,000 later, I still have bad acne and new acne scars from the horrible breakout after the 1st treatment. Bright red blotches on my face. I think the people who say they have great reactions are lying and work for dermatologists!

WOW!! I have read nothing but bad reactions from others and it surprises me because levulan was a miracle breakthrough for me. I was lucky enough to be a test patient. After one treatment, I never had another cyst come up again! I had a little swelling a lot of redness, but when it faded after two days, my pores were smaller and I did not have any more breakouts! I had been on ACcutane twice and tried everything topical. Nothing topical works! Levulan works at the root because it tames the over active sebacous glands!

I recently went off the birth control pill after 10 plus years and within 8 weeks I had cystic acne...I had no problem with acne prior. So I read about this Levulan tx in Bazaar magazine and was very excited. It has been difficult to find a physician who does this but after reading this message board perhaps that was lucky. Thank you for all your messages.

I'd give this treatment a zero for "how well it works" if I could. I've done several treatments for acne, including accutane, thermage, versa-pulse, and cool touch, and this is the only treatment I've tried that produced absolutely NO DESIRABLE RESULTS. The other thing that was unsatisfactory about this treatment was the recovery time. I had 5 treatments, so I had to spend a total of 5 weeks of my life looking like someone had held a blowtorch to my face and proceeded to cover it in saran wrap. Really, I looked truly frightening after each treatment and I can honestly say I saw NO improvement in my skin. Please do not try this treatment unless you've tried EVERYTHING else and it didn't work for you.

i paid 800$ for one treatment...my acne was not that bad at all...but now 4 weeks later im still breaking out badly. i went on accutane last yr and now im thinking i should go back on it bc my acne is soooo bad after this. ive had 3 other treatments wuth just the levulan and blue light and ddidnt see amazing results and broke out a lot then too...waste of money for me...wish i wouldn't have done it...

I had the Levulan Blue Light Treatment 7 weeks ago. After being told that it was an amazing treatment with no down time I was very hopeful. The first few days I experienced a very red and irritated face which was expected. Around the 4th day I began to blister severly. The 5th day the blisters started oozing puss...gross...It took over 2 weeks to get to a point where I was not freakishly red and infected. Since then, my skin has gone from mild acne to severe cystic acne. This treatment has been devastating in result--I have never looked worse. I have battled missed work and social activities and can say nothing good about the blue light/levulan therapy.
