Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an effective and non-invasive treatment option for non-melanoma skin cancers and actinic keratosis (AK). At DERM Skin Specialists, our board-certified dermatologists use PDT to target and destroy cancerous cells without the need for surgery or lengthy topical treatments typically required for field therapy.
During the procedure, a photosensitising agent is applied to the affected area and activated by specific wavelengths of light. This process selectively destroys abnormal cells while preserving surrounding healthy tissue, minimising recovery time and discomfort compared to traditional surgical methods.
PDT is a well-tolerated procedure, making it a convenient choice for patients seeking effective skin cancer management. Our tailored treatment plans ensure that each patient receives the best care suited to their individual needs. If you're looking for a non-surgical solution for skin cancers or AKs, Photodynamic Therapy at DERM Skin Specialists may be the ideal option for you.
