What Is Photodynamic Therapy?

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes a photosensitizing agent combined with specific light wavelengths to target damaged or abnormal skin cells. At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Oakville, PDT is successfully used to treat skin cancer, acne, and sun damage. The photosensitizing agent is applied topically, absorbed by abnormal cells, and then activated by light, effectively destroying targeted cells while preserving healthy surrounding tissue.
