The development of an actinic keratosis can take years, with these scaly patches of skin forming later in life much of the time. These rough patches, which tend to appear on areas that receive the most exposure to the sun, may seem inconsequential, but because they can become cancerous lesions, treating even small keratoses is ideal.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been shown a viable treatment for actinic keratosis. Incorporating Levulan Photodynamic therapy into the treatment plan, we create a powerful force against these areas of concern, greatly reducing the risk of progression to squamous cell carcinoma.
