Most important Information
Skin Cancer Screening and Anti-Aging combined
During the Power PDT a combination of specific cremes, medicinal CO2 lasers and red light will bring demise to ill cells. Simultaneously stimulating the production of collagen- and elastin fiber. This will provide you with a rejuvenated skin appearance, relieved from actinic keratosis or white skin cancer degenerated cells.
Gentle and Effective
The surrounding tissue will mostly stay free of reaction which is caused by the Power PDT. Since there will be no use of a scalper, the procedure will not result in scars. At the same time, the Power PDT treatment results are equal to conventional white skin cancer treatment methods.
