Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT)

How does Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) work?

Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) is a relatively new skin therapy that allows topically applied medications such as ALA (Alfa Levulinic Acid) to target diseased and damaged areas of the skin when activated by a blue or red light of a special wavelength. The medication eliminates the diseased and damaged abnormal skin cells but not the normal skin cells.

What skin conditions does a Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) Treatment improve?

• Acne
• Age Spots
• Rosacea
• Skin Ageing
• Skin Cancers
• Skin Lesions
• Solar Keratosis
• Sun-Damage
• Uneven Skin Texture

How many treatments are required?

We usually recommend 1 to 5 treatments that should ideally be spaced 4 weeks apart for optimum results.

Milder treatments may require more sessions but generally the healing time is reduced.

A no obligation consultation with one of our Cosmetic Physicians, Nurses and Clinicians or Aestheticians is essential so your skin can be examined and assessed for its suitability for Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT).
