Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis: What You Need to Know
Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratosis: What You Need to Know
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a leading non-invasive treatment for actinic keratosis (AK), a common precancerous skin condition caused by sun exposure. This method combines a topical photosensitizer with a specific light source—usually blue or red light—to target and destroy abnormal cells, significantly reducing the risk of AK developing into squamous cell carcinoma. For patients seeking effective skin cancer prevention, PDT offers an efficient, well-tolerated option. MAIKONG CO. LTD supplies advanced PDT equipment tailored for dermatology clinics, ensuring precision and comfort during treatment.
How Does Photodynamic Therapy Work for Actinic Keratosis?
- Application of Photosensitizer: A dermatologist applies a photosensitizing agent, like 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), which penetrates AK cells and makes them sensitive to light.
- Light Activation: After one to three hours, a blue or red light activates the photosensitizer, triggering a reaction that destroys the precancerous cells.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients must avoid direct sunlight for at least 48 hours, as treated areas are highly photosensitive.
Advantages of PDT for Actinic Keratosis
- Minimally Invasive: PDT targets only affected cells, sparing healthy skin and reducing scarring.
- Effective and Versatile: Suitable for widespread areas and various lesion sizes, particularly for the face and scalp.
- Quick Recovery: Most patients experience minor redness and peeling for a few days, with full skin recovery in two weeks.
