Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
A patient is given a light sensitive drug to take orally or apply topically. The drug is designed to be absorbed by body tissue and used to regenerate cells (grow). Tissue that grows abnormally will absorb the drug faster than normal tissue. Light is then shown on the abnormally growing tissue and will be destroyed.West Coast Laser recommends the following systems for photodynamic therapy (pdt) treatments:
