Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Acne Defense PD-13 Photodynamic Light Treatment.

Most clients feel mild warmth or tingling during the LED activation; treatment is generally well tolerated. We use cooling and soothing steps to maximize comfort. Any discomfort is brief, and recovery involves little to no downtime.

Treatment plans vary; a series of 4-8 sessions spaced weekly or biweekly is common for noticeable improvement, especially for hormonal or cystic acne. Maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on response and skin goals.

Yes. PD-13 reduces inflammation and bacterial load while regulating oil production, addressing two core factors in rosacea and hormonal acne management. Results vary individually; combining with a tailored skincare plan improves long-term outcomes.

Side effects are typically mild and temporary: slight redness, sensitivity, or dryness for 24–72 hours. We provide aftercare instructions and recommend gentle products and sunscreen to support healing and prevent irritation.

PD-13 is broadly safe across skin types but requires a consultation to screen medications, sensitivity, or conditions like photosensitivity. We tailor settings and pre/postcare to minimize risk and ensure effective, safe results.

Avoid heavy exfoliation, chemical peels, or retinoids for 5–7 days before treatment. Arrive with clean skin and disclose medications or recent sun exposure. We may recommend pausing photosensitizing agents and will advise appropriate post-treatment sunscreen.
