Photodynamic Treatment for Pre Cancers, Sun DamageIn this revolutionary treatment recently approved in the US, a special solution is applied to the face, arms, or hands and allowed to soak in. It is selectively absorbed by the "bad stuff" and only minimally by the normal skin. Then a special LED light source is used to activate the chemical, changing it into a destructive chemical. The results are frequently amazing, eliminating precancerous growths and drastically improving the cosmetic appearance of the skin. If repeated every three months, European studies have shown that very few if any new growths appear at all. It's like crop dusting a field every three months to keep the weeds from growing!
Acne Light TherapyThe recent discovery that certain wavelengths of visible light kill the bacteria responsible for acne has led to a new and effective therapy -- the acne light. Intense LED blue light is harmless except to these acne-causing bacteria, so we simply shine it onto acne prone skin for often remarkable results. In addition, near-infrared light reaches the overactive oil glands and slows their production, leading to less oil and pore-blockage. Occasionally,a special hi-tech chemical is applied to the surface of the skin which seeps into the oil glands and is then activated by the light sources. This treatment boost drastically slows oil production and minimizes pore size, and the result is frequently long-term improvement.
