I have just had my second of three treatments of Levulon. The first treatment I experienced redness and minimal swelling and the feeling of a significant sunburn for about three days. The second treatment has left me more red and with significant swelling - my eyes are nearly swollen shut every morning. I am waiting for the swelling to go away and the peeling to begin. The peeling and flaking lasted a few days with the first treatment and then my new skin emerged and looked much better - better than before. During the redness and swelling, it can be very discouraging and feel like the skin is never going to be the same but it just takes time. I will report back when I am finished with the treatment.
