4 deliverables in this treatment
- Assessment of condition and wavelength protocol selection
- LED phototherapy session under clinic lamp (15–20 minutes)
- Photosensitising agent application if PDT indicated
- Post-treatment skin care guidance
LED phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular processes in the skin without heat or UV exposure. At AE Derm the LED lamp delivers anti-aging photomodulation (photobiomodulation), photodynamic therapy adjunct, post-procedure wound healing acceleration, scar and stretch mark reduction, anti-inflammatory treatment for acne and cold sores, and scalp stimulation for hair growth. The treatment is painless, requires no recovery and can be combined with other procedures on the same day.
About this treatment
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the therapeutic use of low-level light to modulate cellular function without causing thermal damage. Unlike lasers, which deliver coherent, high-intensity energy for tissue ablation or coagulation, LED devices emit lower-intensity non-coherent light at specific wavelengths that are absorbed by chromophores in mitochondrial and cellular membranes, triggering biochemical cascades that influence energy production, inflammation,…
The primary cellular mechanism involves cytochrome c oxidase — the terminal enzyme in the mitochondrial electron transport chain — which absorbs red and near-infrared light, enhancing ATP synthesis and reducing oxidative stress. This increased cellular energy production and reduced reactive oxygen species accelerate the natural processes of repair and renewal. Blue wavelength LED (around 415 nm) has anti-bacterial action against Propionibacterium acnes,…
At AE Derm MUDr. Helena Závodská uses LED phototherapy across multiple clinical applications. For anti-aging, PBM sessions stimulate new collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and radiance over a series of treatments — typically used as a stand-alone course or to complement laser or injectable sessions. For photodynamic therapy (PDT), a photosensitising agent is applied before the LED session, creating an amplified anti-acne or lesion-targeting…
