There are many non-invasive cosmetic procedures performed to rejuvenate the appearance of the skin. Two of the popular procedures are chemical peel and pdt photodynamic therapy.
Chemical peels are classified as superficial, medium, and deep peels. Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes to produce healthy, glowing skin. Often performed on the face, neck, and hands, various types of chemical peels can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, scars, and uneven pigmentation, as well as treat pre-cancerous skin lesions.
Chemical peels can enhance your appearance by reducing blotchy and uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, freckling, age spots, sun-damaged skin, and acne scars in a relatively brief measure of time. Chemical peels accelerate the production of new cells.
photodynamic therapy pdt is a new medical procedure for photorejuvenation of the skin. PDT, which means photodynamic therapy, is generally reserved for severe photodamaged skin with precancerous actinic keratoses. PDT works great for rosacea which you may have and should see a dermatologists to confirm. A photo sensitizer liquid is applied to your skin then a IPL or intense light source is applied which works to shrink oil glands and kill bacteria on the skin.
One of the effects of photodynamic therapy is to shrink the oil glands, causing less oil production. Chemical peels clean out the pores but do not affect the oil glands. PDT is a much more effective treatment for acne than chemical peels. Photodynamic therapy may be a good option for sensitive skin because it is an in-office treatment with a simple liquid application and light exposure.
As chemical peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts, laser or light therapy for a younger look, you may combine the procedures together and enjoy fresh smooth skin immediately after your first treatment!
