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).
Pros:
little down time, low cost compared to lasers/peels etc.q
Cons:
burning sensation the next day (for me) that lasts almost all day.
Pros:
Amazing! I had three treatments of the Levulan/Blue light treatment combined w/a VBeam Laser. Do not be discouraged the first treatment will not do the trick. You will breakout. According to my doc, it takes 3-6 treatments to get the best results.
Cons:
Costly, but well worth it. Somewhat painful if you are extremely broken out, but your skin should clear with each treatment. It will hurt less everytime.
Pros:
Significantly improves hyperpigmentation, texture of skin, acne scars, and reduces the sizes of the pores!!!!
Cons:
About 4 days of isolation.
Pros:
Reduces oil, minimizes pores, helps with scarring.
Cons:
Down time of about 7 days. You look pretty scarey and don't want ANYONE to see you. Feels like a REALLY bad sunburn.
