Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is an advanced method for treating precancerous skin conditions caused by UV damage, such as actinic keratoses, and flat basal cell carcinomas, the most common form of skin cancer. At mySkin Clinic, our experienced dermatologists offer this innovative and scar-free therapy to provide you with a safe and effective solution.
Our unique Laser-Assisted Daylight PDT optimizes the principles of PDT. We start by applying a special cream to the affected skin areas, making the skin cells sensitive to a precise light wavelength. For maximum effectiveness, our specialists use an ablative fractional CO2 laser to enhance the penetration depth of the medication.
After an incubation period during which the skin absorbs the medication, we expose the skin to daylight to activate the treatment. This process destroys damaged cells, which are then shed in the following days and replaced by healthy cells. In case natural daylight is insufficient – a rarity in Mallorca – we use a special lamp that mimics the required light.
It is crucial to protect your skin from direct sunlight in the coming weeks. Unlike previous methods such as freezing, Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) leaves no scars or pigment disorders.
This modern treatment method at mySkin Mallorca achieves outstanding cosmetic results, surpassing many other procedures in this regard. It is also highly effective for treating larger skin areas and significantly contributes to preventing recurrences of skin cancer. Over 90% of the skin tumors we treat remain recurrence-free in the subsequent years.
Actinic keratoses are rough, scaly skin lesions caused by prolonged sun exposure. Compared to previous methods like freezing, PDT has the advantage of not causing scarring or pigment disorders.
PDT can be considered a gentle and effective alternative to surgical removal of basal cell carcinomas or squamous cell carcinomas, especially for superficial tumors.
At mySkin Clinic, we offer you a first-class, patient-oriented PDT treatment to protect your skin health and effectively address precancerous conditions and basal cell carcinomas.
