LED Photodynamic Therapy

LED Photodynamic Therapy

LED Photodynamic Therapy uses specific wavelengths of light and photosensitizing agents to definitively treat skin precancerous conditions, such as actinic keratosis. This non-invasive treatment is a cornerstone of regenerative aesthetic medicine, with clinically validated results in skin rejuvenation and care. LED Photobiostimulation, on the other hand, activates natural skin processes without photosensitizing agents, promoting collagen and elastin production, reducing inflammation, and improving overall skin health.

About the Treatment

LED PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY FOR NMSC AND ACNE

LED Photodynamic Therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that harnesses the power of light to address various skin conditions, particularly Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) and acne. This innovative procedure combines specific LED light wavelengths with photosensitizing agents to target and treat affected skin areas.

How It Works

The treatment begins with the application of a photosensitizing agent called ALA to the skin. This substance is selectively absorbed by abnormal or damaged cells. After an adequate absorption period, the treated area is exposed to LED light of specific wavelengths. The light activates the photosensitizing agent, triggering a photochemical reaction that effectively destroys target cells while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact.

Benefits for NMSC

For Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer, LED Photodynamic Therapy offers a precise and effective treatment option. It can target precancerous lesions and early-stage skin cancers, reducing the need for more invasive procedures. The therapy is particularly useful for treating larger areas of sun-damaged skin, helping prevent future skin cancer development.

Acne Treatment

For acne, LED Photodynamic Therapy works by targeting bacteria responsible for acne formation. The light also helps reduce inflammation and regulate sebum production. This combination of effects can lead to significant improvements in acne-prone skin, often resulting in a clearer, smoother complexion.

The Procedure

The treatment is performed in our state-of-the-art clinic in Milan. Patients can expect a comfortable experience with minimal discomfort during the procedure. The duration of each session may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the size of the treatment area. Our expert professionals will create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific skin concerns.

Recovery and Results

One of the main advantages of LED Photodynamic Therapy is minimal recovery time. Patients may experience some redness and mild peeling in the days following treatment, but these effects are typically short-lived. Results are gradual and seen over several treatments, with many patients noting significant improvements in their skin's appearance and health.

Safety and Efficacy

LED Photodynamic Therapy has been extensively studied and is recognized as a safe and effective treatment for various skin conditions. Its precision in targeting specific cells while sparing healthy tissue makes it an excellent option for those seeking effective treatment with minimal side effects.
