==================
The use of PDT
Photodynamic Therapy is the application of a product called 5-Aminolevulilnic Acid (5-ALA) and its interaction within cells which the use of oxygen and light.
The 5-ALA is applied to the spot to be treated, where it undergoes a reaction in the cells. This produces photosensitising which works within the cell. ALA causes the skin cells to become sensitive to a certain type of light and when this light is applied it makes the cells slough off and die. After these damaged cells have been destroyed, new, healthy cells begin to form.
These damaged cells come from solar, or sun damage. Prolonged periods of sunlight with no protection of the years can lead to uneven, blotchy skin. If left untreated, these “sun spots” can have far more dangerous repercusions.,
There are currently many practitioners world-wide that encourage the use of PDT and it is used as an annual preventative measure to treat and inhibit further sun damage.
Range of conditions for ALA treatment include –
Non-Hyperkeratotic keratosis
Seborrheic keratosis
Cystic acne, acne vulgaris and generally oily skin
Rosacea
Hyperplasia
Large nose pores
Uneven skin tone
Etc.
