Photodynamic Therapy

Experience transformative skincare with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) laser treatment at American Skin Institute. Ideal for treating acne, sun damage, and certain types of skin cancer, PDT combines a light-sensitive medication with targeted laser light to activate deep skin rejuvenation and healing.

During the procedure, a photosensitizing agent is applied to the skin and absorbed by targeted cells. After a brief incubation period, the area is exposed to specific wavelengths of light, activating the medication to destroy targeted cells and stimulate collagen production. This process not only improves skin texture and tone but also enhances overall skin health.

Ideal candidates for PDT include individuals with acne, sun-damaged skin, and certain precancerous skin lesions. The number of treatments needed varies based on the condition being treated, typically ranging from 1 to 3 sessions spaced several weeks apart. PDT can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the face, scalp, and hands.

While PDT may cause mild discomfort during the light exposure phase, our experienced practitioners ensure your comfort with appropriate measures. Common side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary sensitivity to light, which typically resolve within a few days to a week. Minimal downtime is expected, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
