Acne is associated with a bug known as Propionibacterium acnes. This is a bacterium that lives on the skin and in the oil (sebum) glands. The uneven shedding of the skin and excessive sebum together with these bacteria contribute to acne breakouts.

What is PDT Treatment?
Photodynamic Acne Treatment (PDT) is a process by which a photosensitizing agent is applied to your skin. This is a special solution applied to the skin that is activated by a specific wavelength of light, such as IPL, which “turns it on”. This produces oxygen free radicals that selectively destroy the bacterial cells and clear the acne lesions. The advantages of PDT are rapid treatment of acne lesions all over the face, no scarring, no surgical excisions and no systematic side effects.
The skin appears refreshed and younger following these treatments. Usually two or three treatments at one to three week intervals are advised to obtain optimal results. The “downside” of PDT is that your skin will be red and have some skin peeling for several days after the treatment.
Usually, the first one or two days are the worst; sun avoidance during this period is imperative. Pressed mineral based powder will hide most of the redness. Light based treatments also have the advantage of improving collagen modeling in the healing skin, thus avoiding or reducing the possibility of scar formation.

Spots and Acne occur when excess skin oil and flaking skin obstruct the opening of a hair follicle and create the ideal environment for acne bacteria to grow.
Estetika’s Zeno Treatment involves the application of controlled heat causing the acne bacteria to self-destruct. This reduces inflammation and allows the skin to return to a healthy state
