Photodynamic laser acne therapy (PDT) at MED-LASER Jihlava uses precisely calibrated laser light to eliminate the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne and reduce the sebaceous overactivity that drives breakouts. The treatment is recommended across all presentations of inflammatory acne — from moderate cystic spots to widespread facial breakouts — and is positioned by the clinic as a modern, effective alternative to oral medications such as isotretinoin and long-term antibiotics. Under the supervision of Prim. MUDr. Marie Policarová, the photodynamic laser protocol is entirely painless and produces visible improvement from the very first session. Patients who have tried topical or systemic treatments without adequate response, or who want to avoid the side-effect profiles of oral isotretinoin, will find this an evidence-backed non-pharmaceutical route to clearer skin in a medically supervised setting.
About this treatment
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for acne combines light energy with the skin's natural photosensitivity to target two of the main drivers of inflammatory acne: Cutibacterium acnes bacteria and overactive sebaceous glands. In standard photodynamic acne protocols, a photosensitising agent may be applied topically before the laser activation step — when the laser light is delivered, it activates the photosensitiser and generates reactive oxygen species that…
At MED-LASER Jihlava, the clinic's photodynamic laser acne therapy is recommended for all forms of inflammatory acne, including papular, pustular, and cystic presentations. The clinic explicitly positions it as a modern alternative to isotretinoin and antibiotics — two treatment categories with significant systemic side effects (liver enzyme monitoring, mood effects, and antibiotic resistance, respectively). PDT targets the pathology locally, without…
Prim. MUDr. Marie Policarová, a head-physician-grade dermatologist with over 15 years of laser clinic experience, oversees the acne treatment programme. The clinic's documentation confirms that the treatment is painless and that results are visible after the first session — a combination rarely achievable with topical-only protocols, which typically require 8–12 weeks of consistent application before meaningful change.
