Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)

Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) is used to treat sun damaged skin by utilising a photochemical reaction to selectively kill sun damaged cells. A photo sensitiser is applied to the skin and allowed to incubate, then the client is placed under a light source, creating a reaction to destroy already damaged cells. The process requires a consultation prior to treatment and involves some downtime. Photodynamic therapy is also proven to treat certain grade acne skins by reducing the oil found in the pores, as well as killing P.acnes bacteria.
