PDT combines light and a light-activated drug to treat conditions like acne, psoriasis and skin cancer.
What is it?
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) can be an effective treatment option for conditions like acne, actinic keratosis, psoriasis, skin cancer and vitiligo. The treatment uses a specific wavelength of light to activate a photosensitive drug in hyper-targeted areas of your skin. This targeted approach minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissue, making PDT a valuable option for treating localized skin conditions with high precision and minimal side effects.
What to expect
After applying the topical light-sensitive drug to the area for treatment, your provider directs light to specific areas for treatment, activating the drug only where it is needed. PDT is performed as an outpatient procedure, is non-invasive and can have a lower chance of scarring versus other treatment options.
