Photodynamic therapy for the treatment of precursors of skin cancer

With photodynamic therapy (PDT), both precursors of skin cancer (so-called actinic keratoses) and skin cancer can be treated in the early stages and leaves no scars.

In the first stage of PDT, a drug is applied to the abnormal skin as a cream, gel or plaster, which concentrates in the abnormal skin cells within a few hours. The active ingredient is then activated with a special light.

As a result, the malignant cells die and are replaced by healthy cells. We have more than a decade of experience in the use of photodynamic therapy. Private health insurers usually reimburse the costs. Publical insured persons must bear the costs themselves. You can find more information on the PDT procedure at: www.biofrontera.com.

The PDT is also suitable for large-scale skin rejuvenation. The variant of the Natural Daylight-PDT is mostly used here.
