How Does PDT work?
This revolutionary modality incorporates the use of a photosensitizing lotion (5 ALA) which is applied to abnormal or damaged skin. When the lotion is absorbed a customised light source is illuminated onto the treated area of skin. This process causes a photochemical reaction which destroys metabolically active abnormal cells and leaves the normal cells relatively untouched. There is minimal patient downtime and the cosmetic results are excellent.
PDT treats not only individual lesions, but is effective in field treatments all over the body eg. full face, arms, legs, hands, feet, scalp and décolletage.
