Light that quiets the gland.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) applies a photosensitizing agent that concentrates in oil glands and acne bacteria, then activates it with light to reduce sebaceous activity, kill bacteria and calm inflammation. It is used for inflammatory and recurrent acne that hasn't settled with standard care, often as part of the wider acne program. A short course gives lasting reduction in breakouts. A board-certified director confirms suitability and manages the brief light-sensitivity that follows each session.
Since 1984, we have believed the same truth: diagnosis first, then the gentlest treatment that works.
