Yes. I have been doing light therapy for a long time. So far has been the most effective however I would use Protopic with the light therapy. If you have spots your really want to knock out it took me about 6 months going three days a week using Protopic two times a day. It takes a while before you see results but it does pay off once you see fill in.

The light therapy's...I was told they are very expensive. You must have wonderful insurance that covers majority of that cost.
I don't have Medicare as of yet. Not quite old enough. 😄
