PD13 Therapy
PD-13 Therapy is the advanced acne solution everyone’s buzzing about. Powered by photodynamic science, it targets bacteria and overactive oil glands at the source — reducing breakouts, calming inflammation, and restoring clearer, healthier-looking skin.
What is PD13 Therapy
KRX PD-13 Therapy is a highly targeted, non-medicated photodynamic therapy especially effective for treating stubborn acne, precancerous skin lesions, and conditions like rosacea—all powered by the synergy of a MAL-HCl photosensitizer and red light activation.
It's a photosensitizing product containing 13% Methyl Aminolevulinate HCl (MAL-HCl). When applied to skin, it becomes activated by red light therapy, producing reactive compounds that help kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce sebum production.
MAL-HCl, upon red light exposure, generates reactive oxygen species—these target inflammatory pathways, bacterial overgrowth, and sebaceous gland activity
What Conditions does it Treat?
- Moderate to Severe Acne- helps reduce acne lesions and recurrence by targeting underlying bacteria and sebaceous gland activity.
- Actinic Keratosis- Non-cancerous precancerous kin lesions can be addressed using this therapy.
- Rosacea and Other Skin Lesions- Beneficial for managing certain dermatologic concerns like rosacea or benign skin growths; even used on the scalp and body
How Does it Work?
It absorbs into the skin and concentrates in overactive oil glands.
When exposed to red light, the solution activates and produces oxygen bursts that destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce excess sebum.
Over time, this calms inflammation, shrinks oil activity, and restores a clearer, healthier complexion.
From within, your glow begins.
