Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a cutting-edge treatment that harnesses the power of light and photosensitizing agents to target and destroy abnormal cells, making it particularly effective in skin cancer clinics. This non-invasive procedure offers numerous benefits, such as minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue and reducing recovery times compared to traditional treatments.
PDT is used to treat various skin conditions, including actinic keratosis , Bowen’s disease and some superficial basal cell carcinomas, while also improving skin texture and tone. By activating the photosensitizing agents with specific wavelengths of light, PDT effectively eliminates cancerous cells, promoting healthier skin and enhancing patient outcomes in the fight against skin cancer.
