What Is Photodynamic Therapy?

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive, targeted treatment that uses a photosensitizing agent combined with specific light wavelengths to eliminate damaged or abnormal skin cells. At Rejuvenation Medical Aesthetics in Edmonton, PDT is a highly effective option for treating conditions such as skin cancer, acne, and sun damage. During treatment, a photosensitizing solution is applied to the skin and absorbed by abnormal cells. Once activated by a specialized light source, the agent selectively destroys the targeted cells while preserving the surrounding healthy tissue.
