PDT is effective in treating\u00a0actinic\u00a0keratoses\u00a0and superficial\u00a0basal\u00a0cell\u00a0carcinomas. It may also be used for treatment of small, thin, low-risk\u00a0nodular\u00a0basal cell carcinomas outside of the head and neck area.<\/p>\n<p>PDT utilizes photosensitizing agents, oxygen, and light to create a photochemical reaction that selectively destroys cancer cells. Photosensitizing agents are drugs that are administered into the body through\u00a0topical methods. In the body, they concentrate in cancer cells and only become active when light of a certain wavelength is directed onto the area where the cancer is found. The photodynamic reaction between the photosensitizing agent, light and oxygen kills the cancer cells.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kh4wgrbk-9858e7afd504c17777cab3e82b7b62ae\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-kh4wgrbk-9858e7afd504c17777cab3e82b7b62ae{\ncolor:#ffffff;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-kh4wgrbk-9858e7afd504c17777cab3e82b7b62ae:hover{\ncolor:#ffffff;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/wolverinedermatology.com\/index.php\/patient-resources\/' class='avia-color-theme-color avia-button avia-button-fullwidth av-kh4wgrbk-9858e7afd504c17777cab3e82b7b62ae avia-icon_select-no avia-color-theme-color'   aria-label=\"Click to Request An Appointment\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Click to Request An Appointment<\/span><span class='avia_button_background avia-button avia-button-fullwidth avia-color-theme-color'><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-d4slyp-4ba6ef612120a71df87a98532e7ccf5c av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-4651'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<\/p><\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-4651","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
