PDT can be used to treat superficial skin cancers, sun-damaged skin to target early or pre-cancerous changes (actinic keratoses) and acne. Cosmetic outcomes after PDT are generally better than other skin cancer treatments due to its selective targeting of skin cancer cells.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) utilising natural daylight is a new, well-tolerated way to employ this useful technique for the treatment of pre-cancerous skin changes (actinic keratoses). Combining photodynamic therapy with laser can also enhance both medical and cosmetic laser outcomes.
