As you age, your skin issues change too. In your 20s, you may have acne. In your 30s and 40s, your skin will begin to show sun damage. And by the time 50 rolls around, you've likely acquired more evidence of sun damage. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can help with all these blots.

The light-based treatment shimmers away these cosmetic and medical abnormalities, ideally leaving behind much improved skin tone. Photodynamic therapy was created in the 1990s to treat pre-cancerous cells. In 2001, PDT began to gain popularity for its skin-improving capabilities.

The treatment may clear problematic skin concerns like acne, acne scars, broken capillaries, warts, rosacea, wrinkles, sun damage, and enlarged pores. How? By activating a topical liquid (Levulan) or creamy drug (Metvix) with light, spurring a chemical reaction that destroys damaged skin, promotes collagen growth, and shrinks oil glands by destroying pore-dwelling bacteria.
