Ala Mask and Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic therapy combined with the use of Ala mask represents an ideal method for treating acne on facial skin. The Ala mask effectively replaces medicated therapy in acne treatment and reduces the activity of sebaceous glands.
The photosensitizing agent – 13% Ala mask is intended exclusively for use under controlled conditions and medical supervision. Due to its difficulty in penetrating the oily film on the skin surface, specific procedures must be followed to enable deeper acid penetration.
Photodynamic therapy with the addition of the Ala mask is recommended for individuals who:
- Have problematic acne-prone skin
- Have photo damage in the form of hyperpigmentation
Before the treatment begins, the patient’s skin condition is evaluated, and based on this, the appropriate light frequency is selected. The therapy may involve a single frequency or a combination of different light frequencies.
The number of required treatments is also determined during this assessment. The optimal number of sessions is between three and five, performed at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks.
After the treatment:
- The skin feels soft and smooth to the touch
- The skin appears radiant and refined
- Sebum production is reduced
- Bacterial presence on the skin decreases
- Pores are tightened
The treatment is not recommended for individuals who have:
- Lupus
- Any type of autoimmune disease
- Allergy to acids
- Epilepsy
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
