PhotoDynamic Therapy (PDT) Treatment: A Speedy Solution to Adult Acne

 

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an advanced procedure that involves using photosensitizers to boost the activity of a light-based skin treatment. The overactivity and inflammation of the oil-producing glands contribute to acne development. PDT treatment helps reduce the size and activity of the oil-secreting glands, creating lasting results. PDT is becoming more popular as an acne treatment, particularly in severe cases that do not respond to other treatments. 

PDT Blue Light Treatment process:

During PDT Blue light treatment, a photosensitizing agent is applied and then targeted with blue light energy. The medication is then activated to treat moderate to severe acne and to eliminate cysts, red bumps, blackheads, and whiteheads. During treatment, the intensity of the stinging sensation varies depending on many factors. Also:

●       PDT is the latest treatment procedure for treating acne

●       The number of sessions varies depending on the severity and other factors

●       Results are significantly faster and more effective than existing acne treatments 

PDT Blue Light Treatment

Blue Light (BLU-U®) is the only Photodynamic Therapy that is FDA-approved for treating upper extremities. Blue Light (BLU-U®) is heavily relied upon for adult acne treatment owing to many facts. It is safe, effectively eliminates stubborn acne & acne scars, has minimal to no downtime, and you start seeing results from the first session itself. 

You can now avail of Photodynamic Therapy in Ellicott city at Dr. G Dermatology treatment centre, an extension of Dr. G Laser & Med Spa. Treatment is delivered seamlessly by certified trained professionals, under the supervision of board-certified dermatologist, Anita L. Henderson, M.D. 

Results to be expected:

The Blue Light (BLU-U®) Treatment may lead to temporary flushing or skin sensitivity for a few days. A noteworthy benefit is that it does not involve the use of antibiotics or oral retinoids. PDT also offers various benefits over other therapies:

●       Treatment is limited to targeted cells

●       No damage to the surrounding skin

●       Reduce the size and activity of sebaceous glands

●       No scarring or downtime

●       Treats age spots and rosacea that may co-occur alongside acne 

Studies confirm that PDT is more beneficial for people with severe acne or those whose acne has not responded well to other treatments.

The prevalence of skin problems can vary greatly depending on a variety of factors such as gender, age, ethnicity, lifestyle, and geographical location.
