Rosacea or chronic facial redness can be difficult to manage. It’s frustrating to have to deal with persistent redness, visible blood vessels, and the occasional acne-like bumps that flare up unpredictably on the face. If you’re looking for an effective resolution, one of the best treatments for skin redness and rosacea is photodynamic therapy (PDT). How exactly does PDT work for rosacea, and is it right for you?
What is Photodynamic Therapy?
Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive treatment commonly used for various skin conditions, such as acne, sun damage, and of course, rosacea and skin redness. The treatment uses a light-sensitive topical solution and a special light source to activate it. When activated by the light, the solution destroys damaged or inflamed skin cells, reduces redness, and improves overall skin health.
