ACNE & PIGMENTATION CONCERNS

Overview

Some people explore light-based approaches when managing acne. Options that may be discussed in consultation include Omnilux light therapy and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). A registered health practitioner will review your skin, explain how these options work, outline possible risks, and determine whether either may be suitable for you.

Omnilux Light Therapy

Omnilux is a form of light therapy that uses different LED wavelengths. In cosmetic practice, it has been explored for acne and general skin health. During a consultation, your practitioner may explain how different light settings are used and whether this option is suitable for you.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

Photodynamic Therapy is sometimes discussed as an option for managing active acne. It involves applying a photosensitising substance to the skin, which is then activated by light exposure. A consultation is required to determine whether PDT may be appropriate, and to discuss risks, recovery, and limitations.

Possible Risks

Risks may include temporary redness, swelling, tingling, sensitivity to light, or pigmentation changes. Your practitioner will explain these in detail and answer your questions.

Important Information

  • Consultations with a registered health practitioner are required before any option is considered.

  • Not all approaches are suitable for everyone.

  • Responses vary between individuals, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.

While some options may help reduce the appearance of acne scars, it is not possible to remove them completely. Responses vary between individuals, and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. A consultation with a registered health practitioner is required to assess suitability and discuss risks.
