What Is Photodynamic Laser Therapy?
Photodynamic laser therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment that combines a light-sensitive solution with targeted laser or light energy to rejuvenate the skin and treat specific conditions. During the procedure, a photosensitizing agent is applied to the skin and allowed to activate before a specialized laser or light device is used to target problem areas.
The combination of the photosensitizing agent and light energy works to destroy damaged or problematic cells while stimulating the production of collagen, leaving you with a smoother and more even complexion.
Benefits of Photodynamic Laser Therapy
Treats Acne and Reduces Breakouts
PDT effectively targets overactive oil glands, reduces acne-causing bacteria, and minimizes inflammation, making it an excellent option for those struggling with persistent acne.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
This treatment addresses uneven skin tone, rough texture, and fine lines, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant.
Reduces Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation
PDT is highly effective in reducing sunspots, freckles, and other pigmentation issues caused by UV exposure.
Minimizes Pore Size
By reducing oil production and tightening the skin, photodynamic laser therapy helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime
The treatment is non-surgical and requires little to no recovery time, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Long-Lasting Results
The improvements from PDT continue to develop over time, and regular maintenance treatments can help you sustain your results.
What to Expect During a Photodynamic Laser Treatment
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and discuss your specific concerns to determine if PDT is the right option for you.
Preparation
A photosensitizing solution is applied to the targeted areas and left to activate for a specified amount of time, usually 30-60 minutes.
Light Activation
After activation, a specialized laser or light device is used to target the treated areas. You may feel a mild warming sensation, but the procedure is generally comfortable.
Post-Treatment Care
Following the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions provided by our team.
