Abstract
Light treatments of sebaceous gland disorders with 5-aminolevulinic acid and photodynamic therapy are disclosed. A preferred treatment includes topical application of 5-aminolevulinic acid to the skin followed by light exposures with repeated treatment at various intervals. At low doses of ALA and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in single or multiple treatments, improvement in the sebaceous gland disorder, e.g., acne, provides the discovery that diminishment in sebum secretion and the eradication of bacteria occurs. At high doses of ALA and a single high energy PDT treatment, permanent changes to the sebaceous gland and sebum secretion have been discovered.

and c) exposing the infiltrated section of skin to about 10 J/cm2 of energy or greater to cause the photosensitizing agent to become photodynamically activated and durably modulate the sebaceous gland disorder.
2. The method of claim 1, further including the step of waiting for the ALA to be metabolized to protoporphyrin IX before exposing the infiltrated sections of skin.
3. The method o;f claim 1, wherein the infiltrated section of slap is exposed to at least about 100 J/cm2.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the energy has a wavelength in the range of between about 320 and about 744 nm.
6. The method o~ claim 1, wherein the energy has a wavelength in the range of between about 550 and about 600 nm.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the ALA is suspended in a pharmaceutical carrier.
8. The method of claim 7, wherein said pharmaceutical carrier is selected from among a liposome and an aqueous solution.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the ALA is compounded to penetrate the skin via a pilosebaceous unit.
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the treatment modifies the opening to the infundibulum.
11. The method of claim 11, wherein the treatment opens the opening.
12. The method of claim 1, wherein the ALA penetrates a sebaceous gland.
13. The method of claim 13, wherein the treatment modifies the sebaceous gland.
14. The method of claim 1, wherein treatment effects durable amelioration of a sebaceous gland disorder including at least one of acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, and sebaceous gland hyperplasia.
15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of applying ultrasound to drive the ALA into the spaces.
16. The method of claim 1, wherein the ALA is compounded to enter spaces in hair ducts in the skin not occupied by hair.
17. The method of claim 1, wherein the ALA is compounded to enter space within sebaceous glands.
18. The method of claim 14, wherein the method provides a diminishment of the sebaceous gland disorder for a period of at least 5 weeks.
19. The method of claim 18, wherein the method provides a diminishment of the sebaceous gland disorder for a period of at least 10 weeks.
20. The method of claim 19, wherein the method provides a diminishment of the sebaceous gland disorder for a period of at least 20 weeks.
