Am I a Good Candidate for PDT?

You may be a suitable candidate for Photodynamic Therapy if:

  • You suffer from severe acne and wish to avoid or cannot tolerate isotretinoin.
  • You prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment with fast healing (usually within 7 days).
  • You can avoid sun exposure for 48 hours post-treatment, as the skin becomes highly photosensitive.
  • You seek a scar-free, safe, and effective alternative to aggressive therapies like liquid nitrogen or extensive surgery.

More About PDT at Skin Experts
