Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)


Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a highly effective dermatological procedure designed to treat sun-damaged skin, pre-cancerous cells (solar keratoses), certain types of skin cancers, and severe acne.

This treatment involves applying a photosensitizing agent to the skin, which is then activated by a specific wavelength of LED light. The activated agent targets and destroys abnormal cells, while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

The number of required treatments varies based on the condition being treated, individual treatment goals, and expectations.
