The Treatment
What is LED Photo Dynamic Therapy?
LED Photo Dynamic Therapy (PDT) uses specific wavelengths of medical-grade light to stimulate targeted biological processes within the skin cells. Unlike laser treatments, LED therapy is non-thermal, it does not generate heat, making it exceptionally gentle and suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. Different light wavelengths target different concerns: red light stimulates collagen synthesis and accelerates tissue repair; blue light targets the bacteria responsible for acne; near-infrared light penetrates more deeply to reduce inflammation and support cellular energy production.
At Enesima, LED PDT is used both as a standalone treatment and as an enhancing adjunct to other procedures such as microneedling, laser treatments, and skin peels. When used following more intensive treatments, LED therapy helps to calm inflammation, accelerate healing, and amplify results.
The treatment has a strong evidence base and has been used therapeutically in clinical settings for wound healing, inflammation management, and skin rejuvenation. It is one of the few treatments that is both genuinely relaxing and clinically effective, making it a popular choice for clients seeking a gentle but results-driven experience.

Suitability
Who is it for?
LED Photo Dynamic Therapy is suitable for virtually all skin types and conditions. It is particularly beneficial for those with active acne or chronic congestion (blue light), those undergoing anti-ageing or skin rejuvenation programmes (red light), and those with sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin who require a gentle, non-irritating treatment option. It is also recommended as a post-treatment protocol following microneedling, laser, or chemical peels to support recovery and enhance results.
Your Experience
What to expect
The treatment involves lying comfortably under a medical-grade LED panel for approximately 20–30 minutes. A protective eye covering is provided. The experience is entirely painless and most patients find it deeply relaxing, many simply rest or sleep during the session. There is no heat, no discomfort, and no downtime whatsoever.
When used as a standalone treatment, a course of 6–10 sessions is typically recommended for measurable improvement in skin concerns. Sessions can be spaced weekly or fortnightly. As an add-on to other treatments, a single LED session enhances and extends the primary treatment's benefits.
