Dynamic Therapy (PDT)
-
Acne is an
example of PDT.
-
Large amounts of
Proto Porphyrin 9 (PPIX) exist within P Acnes bacteria.
-
PPIX is light
sensitive at 578nm.
|
The Dual Yellow:
- The 578nm Yellow output
can travel down the sebaceous gland to destroy the P
Acnes bacteria as well as shrink the gland reducing
the production of sebum
- Acne can be
effectively controlled with just 4 treatments one
week apart.
