Sun damage repair

Sun (photo) damage (or Actinic Keratosis) is a major precursor to skin cancer. Photodamage Field Treatments not only improve the general health of the skin but decreases your risk of developing more invasive skin cancers in the future. 

The treatments can be done on both singular superficial lesions and also larger areas of superficial photodamage like the face, neck, decolletage, scalp, hands and legs. 

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT)

A medicated cream is applied to the affected skin area, and patients are then instructed to expose the treated area to natural sunlight (Daylight PDT) or a specialised light source (traditional PDT) for a specified period. The photosensitizing agent reacts with sunlight to produce a chemical reaction that selectively destroys abnormal cells while sparing healthy surrounding tissue promoting smoother, clearer and healthier skin in a few days. 

PDT is an effective, safe and long-lasting treatment for certain superficial and precancerous lesions and can reduce your risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancers in the treatment area.

Photodynamic Therapy for skin cancer provides excellent cosmetic results for those who have heavily photodamaged or photoaged skin. And can be useful for treatment of  acne and rosacea.

EXPRESS PHOTODAMAGE REPAIR

Express Photodamage Repair Therapy is a combination cream treatment which has been shown in multiple research trials to be a highly effective treatment for solar keratoses (sun spots) and to substantially reduce the future development of squamous cell carcinomas.

It specifically targets precancerous cells and photodamaged skin, causing a skin reaction, but has limited effect on normal skin. Generally, skin with more photodamage will have a more intense reaction. Express photodamage repair therapy is a non-surgical skin cancer treatment that results in healthier, smoother skin with a reduced risk of skin cancers in the future.
