Chemical peeling with Photobiodynamic Therapy

Chemical peeling with the help of photobiodynamic therapy is a non-invasive technique that consists of applying specific photosensitizing chemicals to the skin, which will subsequently be activated by the emission of LED light. This technique promotes cellular biostimulation, treating various skin conditions effectively, safely and without recovery time.

The main objective is to accelerate the cell renewal process, normalize skin pigmentation, reduce fine wrinkles and attenuate imperfections. The result is smoother, brighter and rejuvenated skin – with visible improvement in texture, tone and overall appearance of the skin.

Indications

How is the treatment performed?

The treatment lasts 35 to 45 minutes and begins with the application of a chemical peel, chosen according to the skin type and clinical goals, which is activated by an LED light mask with a wavelength adjusted to the patient’s needs.

The procedure is painless and non-invasive, allowing for an immediate return to the daily routine. An average of 3 to 6 sessions are recommended, with intervals defined by the professional, to ensure progressive and lasting results.

The effects become visible gradually over the first few sessions, with improved texture, radiance, and skin evenness. The duration of the results depends on the skin type, the condition being treated and the home care routine. Periodic maintenance sessions may be recommended to prolong the benefits and preserve skin health.

At IDC.Clinic, peeling with Photobiodynamic Therapy is performed exclusively by a doctor or nurse trained in aesthetic medicine, using certified products and safe techniques, always adapted to the skin type and specific needs of each patient. This approach ensures clinical efficacy, safety, and balanced outcomes.

Faqs

Peeling with Photobiodynamic Therapy is indicated for:

Inflammatory and comedogenic acne
Oily skin or skin with enlarged pores
Superficial spots and hyperpigmentation
Uneven texture and fine wrinkles
Sensitive skin, with signs of fatigue or reactivity

No. Despite being very effective in the treatment of active acne, Photobiodynamic Therapy also works to improve skin texture, reduce blemishes, oiliness, enlarged pores and signs of premature aging. It is a safe and versatile option for skin that needs regeneration without aggressiveness.

No. The treatment is painless and well tolerated by all skin types. A mild warm sensation may be felt during exposure to LED light, but without significant pain or discomfort.

It is a non-invasive treatment and considered safe. Mild effects such as mild redness, fine flaking or tightness may occur, which disappear spontaneously within a few days.

It is recommended:

Avoid direct sun for the first 7 days
Use sunscreen with a factor of 50+ every day
Avoid make-up in the first 24 hours
Moisturize the skin well and avoid exfoliating or abrasive products

The ideal protocol varies depending on the condition of the skin, but generally 3 to 6 sessions are indicated, with variable intervals between individuals The frequency and total number will be adjusted during the clinical evaluation.

The first results — such as more luminosity, better texture and reduction of redness — appear soon after the first or second session. The improvement continues progressively.

The treatment is contraindicated for:

Pregnant and breastfeeding women
People with photosensitivity or who take photosensitizing medications
Skin with open wounds, lesions or active infections
Cases of cutaneous autoimmune diseases (such as lupus or vitiligo) or a history of skin cancer

Medical evaluation is always essential before starting any protocol.

Photobiodynamic Therapy associates the use of a mild chemical peel with the action of LED light, allowing more effective results with less aggression and shorter recovery time. Traditional peels, on the other hand , use higher concentrations of acids, which can cause intense peeling and require extra care in the post-treatment. The choice between the two depends on the skin type, skin sensitivity and clinical goals.
