RED PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY

The Red Photodynamic Therapy It is a non-invasive technique used in the Dermatology Unit of Doctors Lopez Clinic for him skin rejuvenation, acne treatment and the elimination of premalignant lesions.

It is based on the combination of a photosensitizing agent with light emission using LEDs.

How Does Red Photodynamic Therapy Work?

He photosensitizing agent, called ALA (d-amino-levulinic acid), is absorbed by abnormal cells. When this photosensitizing substance absorbs light, it generates free radicals that destroy damaged cells, without affecting healthy cells. Another reaction that this substance causes upon contact with light is the activation of cellular metabolism, which stimulates fibroblasts or cells responsible for generating collagen and elastin.

The blue and red LED light produces a photochemical effect without generating heat. It acts on cellular receptors, mainly at the mitochondrial level, in skin stem cells, fibroblasts and skin blood flow. The LED light activates the photosensitizing agent, thus eliminating the skin lesion and inducing tissue oxygenation and collagen synthesis.
