Is photodynamic therapy (pdt) for acne a permanent cure or will the acne come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Cure: After a number of treatment sessions, photodynamic therapy (pdt) will reduce the number and size of acne lesions, and some patients will have almost complete clearance. However, the acne may return.
