Photodynamic Therapy

Photodynamic Therapy and Dermatology Specialist in Birmingham, Alabama

Photodynamic therapy or PDT is also known as blue light therapy, and it’s one of the treatment options we offer here at Associated Dermatologists. It’s commonly used to treat pre-cancerous lesions in a clinical setting.

During a typical treatment, a light-sensitive agent is applied to the skin, which is then activated with a special blue light. The light source operates at a targeted wavelength used to activate the topical agent.
