Photodynamic Therapy
If you are searching for photorejuvenation in the Chicago area, we offer photodynamic therapy (PDT), which uses a photosensitizing agent activated by a particular wavelength of light to reinvigorate the skin. This type of light can help to treat surface skin cancer, precancerous cells and sun damaged cells. When photosensitizers are exposed to a specific wavelength of light, they produce a form of oxygen that kills unhealthy cells. In addition to treating pre cancers, photodynamic therapy treats other skin imperfections such as acne and even oily skin.
Mole Mapping
Mole mapping describes a photographic surveillance program for individuals at high risk for malignant melanoma. This includes those with many atypical moles or those with a family history or personal history of melanoma. Moles or lesions are noted and mapped with sophisticated software, typically using digital imaging. After this baseline is created, it is used as a reference to determine if there are any changes in the skin and or moles and lesions. If needed, mole removal for our Chicago area patients is possible through the use of different techniques.
