Acne or Sun-Damaged Skin? Discover Light-Based Care in Huntington, NY

Struggling with breakouts or rough, sun-damaged spots? At Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Center in Huntington, NY, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) uses medical light and special solutions to target problem skin cells and refresh your complexion safely.

Myth:

PDT is just a fancy light.

Fact:

PDT combines a light source with a photosensitizing medication to focus on acne, precancerous spots, and sun damage—while sparing healthy skin. Offered safely in-office by Dr. Koreen’s team in Huntington.

Did You Know Blue Light Targets Acne Bacteria Directly?

Blue light in PDT zeroes in on P. acnes bacteria. It activates tiny molecules (porphyrins) inside your pores, creating an environment where acne bacteria can’t survive—helping Huntington teens and adults see clearer, calmer skin.

What Does a Blue Light Acne Session Feel Like?

Sessions are quick and comfortable—about 15 minutes under high‑intensity blue light. No needles, no downtime. You can walk out of our Huntington office and get back to your day, while your skin continues to improve with each visit.

Rough, Scaly Patches? Could Be Precancerous AKs

Those rough, sun-exposed patches on your face, scalp, hands, or arms may be actinic keratoses—precancerous spots that can turn into skin cancer. PDT with Levulan and blue light lets our Huntington team treat them without surgery.

How Levulan PDT Treats Sun Damage and AKs

Dr. Koreen applies Levulan (aminolevulinic acid) to the skin, lets it absorb, then uses a BLU-U blue light. In just minutes of light exposure, precancerous cells are targeted. Expect light sensitivity for 1–2 days—protect treated skin from the sun.

Myth:

PDT Has Downtime and Harsh Side Effects.

Fact:

PDT at Dermatology & Cosmetic Laser Center is noninvasive, drug‑free, and usually has no downtime. It’s safe for all ages, and many patients see long‑lasting acne and AK clearing, sometimes needing only occasional touch‑ups.
