Harness the power of light to transform your skin. Our Photodynamic Custom Treatment (PDT) combines specialized photosensitizing agents with targeted light therapy to address specific concerns—whether pigmentation, redness, acne, or signs of aging—delivering personalized, non-invasive skin rejuvenation.


How It Works

  1. Customized Photosensitizer Application

    • A bespoke blend of light-activated compounds (e.g., aminolevulinic acid or porphyrins) is applied to the skin areas of concern.

  2. Absorption & Activation

    • The photosensitizer penetrates the skin, concentrating in targeted cells (overactive pigment cells, bacteria, or aging collagen fibers). After an appropriate incubation period, the skin is exposed to a specific wavelength of LED or laser light.

  3. Therapeutic Light Exposure

    • The light activates the photosensitizer, triggering cellular reactions:

      • Pigmentation Correction: Light breaks down excess melanin, fading dark spots and evening skin tone.

      • Redness & Vascular Targets: Directs light to dilate or coagulate superficial vessels, reducing rosacea and redness.

      • Acne Management: Destroys acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) and reduces inflammation, preventing future breakouts.

      • Anti-Aging Effects: Stimulates collagen remodeling and cell turnover, smoothing fine lines and improving texture.

  4. Post-Treatment Care

    • Cooling, soothing serums and sun protection complete the session, ensuring comfort and optimizing healing.


Benefits

  • Personalized Approach: Protocols are customized based on your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes.

  • Multi-Concern Treatment: One session can target multiple issues simultaneously for comprehensive rejuvenation.

  • Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime: Enjoy visible improvements with only mild redness or flaking that resolves quickly.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Experience sustained benefits in pigmentation, clarity, and skin firmness over time.
