PDT Photodynamic therapy
A development in skin cancer treatment
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment for skin conditions, including skin cancers, acne and precancerous lesions.
It requires a combination of light and photosensitising medication to create a chemical reaction to target certain growths or conditions.
It can be used to treat basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma, especially in early-stage skin cancers.
Photodynamic therapy is most commonly used for superficial skin cancers and actinic (solar) keratoses (sun spots), especially over large areas of skin, like full face, scalp and chest.
It can also treat moderate to severe acne that isn’t responding to other treatments.
