PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) offers an innovative approach to acne treatment that eliminates the need for daily medication.
This procedure involves applying a photosensitizer to the skin, which selectively targets sebaceous glands and pores. A laser with a specific wavelength is then used to eradicate acne-causing bacteria and decrease sebum production. In addition to effectively treating acne, this method helps shrink pores, remove blackheads, and reduce overall sebum secretion.

What is acne?
Acne arises when an increase in sebum production, often triggered by hormonal fluctuations during puberty, becomes trapped due to dead skin cells accumulating at the pore openings. This leads to the formation of sebum blockages known as comedones. These blockages can become aggravated by the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria and inflammatory responses.
Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions, affecting not only teenagers but also adults in their 20s through their 40s. While it mostly appears on the face, it can also develop in other areas rich in sebaceous glands, such as the neck, back, and chest.
