LED light to manage sebum and breakouts.
About PDT
PDT at 3Leaf Clover Clinic is an acne light-therapy treatment that applies an ALA mask pack containing light-absorbing ingredients and then LED light, instead of a photosensitizer cream. Light of specific wavelengths acts on the skin to help improve acne, regulate sebum and sterilize, and since there is no drug application step, the treatment is relatively low-burden.
It is mainly used for skin with heavy sebum production and recurring inflammatory acne. PDT care does not include extraction, so if extraction is needed, acne scaling or extraction care is planned separately alongside it, and it can also be done consistently as a 3-session plan.
At 3Leaf Clover Clinic, the type of acne and degree of inflammation are checked during a medical consultation before recommending PDT alone or in combination. Please avoid strong sunlight on the day of treatment and apply sunscreen thoroughly; results may vary depending on individual skin condition.
