Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) Acne Treatment
Discover Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) for acne at EverYoung Medical Aesthetics.
Photodynamic Therapy is a light-activated skin treatment used to address certain types of acne. The procedure typically involves applying a photosensitizing solution to the treatment area, followed by exposure to a specific light source. This process can help reduce acne-causing bacteria and the activity of oil-producing glands.
PDT may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent acne on the face or back, depending on their skin condition and treatment history.
Choose Your Treatment Area
- Face: Targets acne-prone facial skin, including areas affected by recurring breakouts and excess oil.
- Half Back: Focuses on a selected portion of the back where acne and inflammation may be present.
- Full Back: Provides treatment across a larger area of the back for more widespread acne concerns.
Potential Benefits of PDT Acne Treatment
- Helps reduce certain inflammatory acne lesions.
- May decrease excess oil production.
- Targets factors associated with recurring acne breakouts.
- Offers a treatment option for selected facial and body acne concerns.

Available at EverYoung clinics in Burnaby, Downtown Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Port Coquitlam.
A professional consultation is important to determine whether PDT is suitable for your skin. Temporary redness, swelling, peeling, and sensitivity to light may occur. Depending on the photosensitizing agent used, strict light-avoidance precautions may be required after treatment. Results and recovery times vary.
