How PD-13 Light Therapy Works
PD-13 is a photosensitizing treatment activated by LED light to target acne-causing bacteria, regulate oil production and calm redness. The light energizes the topical agent and helps reduce the inflammation that fuels hormonal acne, cystic acne and rosacea, improving overall clarity without invasive procedures.
Because PD-13 works by changing local skin chemistry and bacterial activity, effects depend on individual skin condition and routine care. Customers at Glass House Aesthetix report clearer, calmer skin and appreciate explanations about how the treatment interacts with their ongoing skincare, which helps set realistic expectations.
What To Expect During Treatment
A typical visit begins with a brief consultation and skin assessment, followed by gentle cleansing and application of the PD-13 photosensitizer before LED exposure. The full appointment lasts 60 minutes, during which clients usually experience a comfortable, non-invasive LED session and a short post-treatment calming routine.
After treatment you'll receive straightforward aftercare guidance tailored to your day-to-day schedule and seasonal needs. Many clients value the personalized approach and the calm studio environment in Castle Shannon, which makes it easy to fit a focused skin visit into work, school, or errands nearby.
Best Candidates and Scheduling
PD-13 is designed for people dealing with inflammatory acne types and rosacea who want a non-surgical option to reduce redness and improve clarity. During your consultation we review whether PD-13 fits your concerns and how it complements other professional or at-home care you may already be using.
