Photodynamic Therapy for Acne
PDT for acne is commonly performed for those patients whose oral or topical acne medications do not seem to clear their skin. Acne is America’s largest skin concern, with over 40 million Americans suffering from Ance every day. It may be tough initially to find the right treatment plan for many stubborn forms of Acne, however, once a patient does find the right treatment to clear their skin, it often makes the world of a difference.
Photodynamic therapy in Santa Monica is one of the most effective treatments for patients suffering from acne. PDT works by activating a topical photosensitive solution through certain light wavelengths. This in turn kills acne-causing bacteria of the skin and prevents future breakouts by providing less of a growth environment for bacteria. Once a patient finally finds the right treatment for their acne, patients commonly report an increase in self-confidence and an overall better feeling of their general appearance.

People with bald heads, and particlary, bald men are especially susceptible to actinic keratoses.
PDT is considered an effective treatment for actinic keratosis, with a 14% higher chance of complete clearance of AKs after 3 months as compared to cryotherapy. PDT also generally results in a better cosmetic outcome than other treatments for the skin condition. It is necessary to be evaluated in-person to see if you are a good candidate for photodynamic therapy for AK.
