Struggling with breakouts, redness or ongoing skin inflammation can be frustrating – especially when your skin feels reactive or easily overwhelmed.
PD-13 Therapy is a gentle, professional facial treatment designed to support acne-prone and rosacea-affected skin without harsh or aggressive methods.
What is PD-13 Therapy?
PD-13 Therapy is a light-activated facial inspired by advanced K-beauty skin protocols. It combines a targeted active ingredient with low-dose red light therapy to help calm inflammation and support clearer-looking skin.
The treatment is suitable for mild to moderate acne, redness and sensitive skin conditions.
Who is PD-13 Therapy recommended for?
This treatment may be a good option if you experience:
Mild to moderate acne
Redness or rosacea-prone skin
Inflammatory breakouts
Sensitive or reactive skin
Skin that needs calming rather than aggressive exfoliation
Each treatment is adjusted to the current condition of your skin.
How does the PD-13 Acne Treatment work?
PD-13 Therapy follows a simple, skin-focused process:
A professional serum is applied to the skin
A neutralising solution helps soothe and balance
Red light therapy activates the treatment and supports skin renewal
The red light helps activate the ingredients while supporting the skin’s natural healing response.
What happens during the treatment?
The skin is gently cleansed and prepared. The PD-13 serum is applied evenly, followed by a controlled red light activation phase.
The treatment is calm and relaxing. A mild tingling sensation can occur and is completely normal.
The session finishes with soothing care and sun protection to support the skin barrier.
How does the skin feel afterwards?
After the treatment, the skin may feel slightly sensitive to touch for a short time. This usually settles within a few days.
Over the following weeks, many clients notice:
Fewer inflammatory breakouts
Reduced redness
A calmer, more balanced skin appearance
Results develop gradually rather than overnight.
How many treatments are needed?
PD-13 Therapy can usually be repeated every 4–6 weeks. In most cases, up to three treatments are sufficient, with optional maintenance once a year.
Your skin condition always determines the final treatment plan.
Aftercare – what to keep in mind
Proper aftercare is essential for optimal results:
Avoid strong sunlight and UV exposure for 7 days
Tanning beds, sauna and swimming pools should be avoided for 1 week
Daily use of broad-spectrum sun protection is required
Use calming and repairing skincare as recommended
Avoid intense sweating and strenuous exercise for a few days
Do not use exfoliating acids, retinol, vitamin A products or scrubs for at least 10 days
Contraindications – when PD-13 Therapy should not be performed
PD-13 Therapy must not be performed in the following cases:
Allergy or hypersensitivity to methyl aminolevulinate
Allergy to any ingredient in the products
Peanut or almond oil allergy
Active cancer or during chemotherapy
Ongoing acne medication (oral or prescription-based)
Any form of UV treatment or recent solarium use
Pregnancy or breastfeeding

If any unusual pain or strong discomfort occurs during treatment, medical consultation is required.
A thorough consultation is always carried out before the treatment to ensure safety and suitability.
