Photodynamic Therapy
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment used to target pre-cancerous sunspots (actinic keratoses). PDT works by applying a photosensitising agent to the skin, followed by exposure to a specific light source. This activates the treatment, destroying abnormal cells while preserving healthy tissue. PDT offers effective treatment across large areas of sun-damaged skin, with minimal downtime and superior cosmetic outcomes compared to other therapies. It also rejuvenates the skin by improving texture, tone, pigmentation, and pore size.
