Hi,

I just contacted the Center Laser Surgery with Dr. Robert Adrian to
inquire about the Photodynamic Therapy and was told they are no
longer offering this service because "most clients did not have good
results." I was disappointed to hear this and was wondering if
anyone out there has any comments on this? Most reports I have read
so far have been positive comments and I am curious if I should
continue to pursue finding another doctor that does offer this? I
am trying to reduce the bumps and acne.

Thanks in advance!

Debbie
