Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)


This is a spe­cial pho­tore­ju­ve­na­tion treat­ment per­formed with the addi­tion of a top­i­cal agent called Lev­u­lan (5‑aminolevulinic acid or ALA). Your skin absorbs the Lev­u­lan which is acti­vat­ed by Clear Light (blue light). This gives you a more intense treat­ment to treat the skin can­cer lesions.

Excel­lent for treating:

Pre-can­cer­ous lesions of the skin (actinic keratosis)

Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for this treatment.

Physi­cian referral/​recommendation required.
