Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in Vancouver, BC

Red light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of low-level red and near-infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate cellular energy production. At a biological level, it activates mitochondria — the powerhouses of your skin cells — triggering natural processes of repair, collagen synthesis, and inflammation reduction.

Concerns

Scarring

Hyperpigmentation

Sun damage & precancerous lesions

Acne

Treatment Time

20-30 minutes

Downtime

There’s little to no downtime and the treatment is very comfortable. With a topical solution (PDT), expect a few days of redness and peeling, with recovery in 5–7 days.

How It Works

For red light therapy, it used on its own to support recovery and reduce inflammation. For PDT, a specialized topical solution is applied to the skin and absorbed into damaged cells. A light source then activates the solution, selectively targeting these cells while stimulating skin renewal and healing.

Consultation & Planning

Each treatment begins with a personalized consultation to assess your skin and goals. A customized plan will be created, and package options are available, as patients often see the best results for recovery with a series of treatments.

Dr. Paul Denton's commitment to quality work and natural-looking results is evident in everything he does. When we discussed a deep plane face and neck lift, the team also introduced the idea of a lip lift—something I hadn’t considered, but it turned out to make a world of difference. I truly felt cared for every step of the way.

Dr. Denton performed blepharoplasty... I was honestly amazed at the results. Not only did it 'literally' open my eyes to just how restricted my vision had been, I feel like it has taken years off me.

Dr. Denton and his entire team were wonderful. Very patient in answering any questions I had... If I ever need to have anything else done - you can bet I will be going back to Dr. Denton and his great team.
