Photodynamic therapy
For example we treatment early stages of squamous cell carcinoma), superficial basal cell carcinoma of the skin and lesions caused by severe exposure to sunlight.
Subsequent to a histological examination, a gel, ointment or pad is applied to the affected skin area for about 3-4 hours before a photodynamic device irradiates the affected skin area with a specific light wave source for about 20 minutes, causing the tumour cells to decompose.
Depending on the diagnosis, the procedure may be repeated after 2 to 4 weeks. This treatment has excellent results and works ideally for large areas of degenerated cells (e.g. scalp), difficult-to-reach skin regions or the face, since healing occurs without the formation of scars.
The outcome of the procedure is therefore aesthetically advantageous. As a non-surgical technique, it is particularly suitable for patients seeking to avoid the potential risks of an operation (e.g. advanced age).
