How it Works

Our customized approach to photodynamic therapy in Mclean

Before performing photodynamic therapy, we tailor your treatment plan during a thorough consultation. We discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. Once armed with the needed information, we work together to curate the right approach to your photodynamic therapy.

Who is a good candidate for treatment at Dermestetics?

Nearly anyone seeking treatment for a variety of cancers and abnormal skin is a candidate for photodynamic therapy with our dermatological experts.

What happens during photodynamic therapy?

Photodynamic therapy includes the use of photosensitizers, which can be administered orally, intravenously, or directly to your skin. The photosensitizing solution concentrates in the harmful, unhealthy cells to make them more sensitive to light. Then, using a specified wavelength of light, your provider illuminates the treatment area to cause a chemical reaction that destroys the targeted cells.
