Introducing Professional PDT from Medik8
Light Amplifier™ RX has been formulated by Medik8 scientists to boost the clinically proven results from increasingly popular light therapy. This novel and unique lightweight 20% strength serum is applied prior to light therapy procedures in-clinic and dramatically increases efficacy of all light-based hardware regardless of manufacturer; a retail version is also available for at-home use with a personal light therapy lamp.
London, United Kingdom, October 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive and increasingly popular procedure to assist with the treatment of a wide variety of skin concerns. Originating as a treatment for pre-cancerous skin lesions, extensive research and development has seen the procedure evolve to become an accepted and effective solution for acne and skin photodamage.
The use of a topical lotion to heighten the skin’s sensitivity to applied light is proven to greatly enhance the power of the light alone. Light Amplifier™ RX utilises the photosensitising properties of levulinic acid and bergamot. As the primary active, levulinic acid has the ability to selectively target and destroy abnormal cells when exposed to certain wavelengths of light. The inclusion of a patent-pending penetration enhancer delivers the active ingredients directly into the sebaceous gland to guarantee focused application of the light.
For the treatment of acne and for optimum acne management, Light Amplifier™ RX works to create an excess of oxygen which destroys anaerobic bacteria. This has significant long-term benefits for the skin including lowered sebum secretion, a vast reduction in inflammation and a minimised chance of acne-induced scarring.
Medik8 skincare professionals are currently being trained by distributors worldwide on the use of Light Amplifier™ RX with PDT.
