This unit is for single use only. The ALA comes with a small vial containing a powdered solution and a solvent, which is mixed in to activate the treatment.

Unlike cream tubes that must be used within a few days once opened—often at a high cost—this ALA formulation allows for activation only when you're ready to use it. This means it has a longer shelf life when not activated.

PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) is a non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment primarily used for advanced acne (grades 3 to 5) and sun damage. PDT has been proven to be highly effective both therapeutically and cosmetically, even for severe acne.

During the treatment, a medication called 5-ALA (Topical 5-Aminolevulinic Acid) is applied to the skin for a specified time. The ALA is selectively absorbed by abnormal skin cells and bacteria. Following this, the skin is exposed to Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), which activates the 5-ALA. This process results in the destruction of the abnormal cells, which are then replaced by healthy skin cells.


• 3 to 4 treatments minimum (fortnightly to monthly)
• All treatments should include microdermabrasion which may be performed on the same day as the PDT or up to 1 week prior

 

  • Avoid all sun exposure for 48 hours after treatment.
  • Use an antioxidant, soothing moisturizer.
  • Ensure consistent sun protection.

Results are enhanced by incorporating active skincare cosmeceuticals.


• Roaccutane in the last 2 months
• Pregnancy/lactation

• redness, swelling and tingling (similar to mild sunburn for up to 3 days post treatment)
• inflammation and flaking or crusting of skin for up to 10 days

We did our first 5 ALA patient last Friday, and was very impressed with the result.  We did a patients face and hands one half with the 5 Ala and the other half with Metvix and there was a very obvious difference.  The 5 ALA had a much better response.
We would very much like to continue using your product for our PDT treatments.
