levulan

1-07-2006 I have had 2 treatments with levulan. I have not noticed a dramatic difference in my cystic acne. I was told that it would take time and that it is a process. I have noticed the brown spots on my face have been diminishing from each treatment... that is a huge plus. I would like to know what the time frame normally is for seeing a turnaround with the cystic acne?? Like I said, I have just started this treatment series a couple months ago and will go for a third treatment this week. If this does not help the cystic acne, then next I will opt for acutane. It is not as if I have not tried other avenues... I am 39 years old and have been dealing with this for 8 years!! It is frustrating to say the least.
