Skin Cancer Diagnosis and PhotodynamicTherapy (PDT)
Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive method of treating skin cancer, which has excellent cosmetic results.
The lesions are treated with a photosensitising cream such as Metvix® and then irradiated with red, incoherent, polarised light. This avoids the need for ablation or cryosurgery.
Take up of PDT was initially delayed by the high cost of the specialised light sources required, but Q.Light PDT now offers a highly competitive alternative
There is also a blue filter which is used with revealing creams to aid with accurate diagnosis of lesions.
Both Diagnosis and PDT filters also fit the flexible model Q.Light® PRO (see Q.Light non-laser phototherapy), avoiding the need for multiple purchases.
