How Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is performed
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is suitable for superficial skin lesions. A common practice is to apply or inject a photosensitizer topically at the lesion site, which, after absorption, is irradiated with a specific wavelength of light, causing local production of reactive oxygen species that damage abnormal cells, while minimizing the impact on surrounding tissues. Treatment can be performed in multiple sessions, with attention to light protection and skin care during the period. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details depend on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
