What It Involves

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) involves the application of a photosensitizing agent to the skin, followed by exposure to a specific wavelength of light. The photosensitizer is absorbed by abnormal cells and, when activated by the light, produces a reaction that destroys these cells. The procedure is used to treat a range of skin conditions and usually requires multiple sessions for optimal results.

Conditions Treated:

• Actinic Keratosis: Precancerous skin lesions caused by sun damage.
• Skin Cancer: Early-stage non-melanoma skin cancers, such as basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
• Sun Damage: Reduces signs of aging and sunspots.
• Acne: Helps to clear acne lesions and reduce inflammation.

Expected Results

Clients can expect noticeable improvement in the treated areas within a few weeks. The skin may appear red and swollen immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few days. Over the following weeks, the skin will start to heal, revealing a more even and rejuvenated complexion. PDT helps to reduce abnormal cell growth, improve skin texture, and diminish signs of sun damage and aging, providing a clearer and healthier skin appearance.
