Using light to treat skin cancer, itching and wrinkles

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) uses certain wavelengths of light to treat cancer tumours (basal cell carcinomas) and precancerous lesions (actinic keratoses, Bowen’s disease). For this purpose, a photosensitizing cream is rubbed into the tumour tissue, which is then exposed to light. The combination of light and photosensitizer destroys the tumour cells. PDT is a tissue-conserving procedure which doesn’t distress the patient. The cosmetic results are usually excellent.

PDT can also be used as a gentle skin rejuvenation method to bring about flawless skin.

Phototherapy is suitable for treating psoriasis and neurodermatitis as well as other eczemas – skin diseases that are unpleasant for both body and soul.

Ergonomically optimized devices with an open design reduce the feeling of constriction and provide homogeneous all-round exposure. The resulting uniform exposure makes for short treatment times and thus comfortable therapy with good exposure results on any part of the skin.
