Pre-Skin (PDT) Cancer Treatment:

FDA approved light therapies

Skin cancer is scary business. Dr. Escobedo recognizes that this condition requires extra special care and a lot of research into what is best for each individual.

Photo-dynamic therapy using BLU-U and Levulon® Kerastick® are FDA approved light therapies for treatment of pre-cancerous lesions known as actinic keratoses (AK). Eighty percent of pre-cancerous lesions may be eradicated after one treatment session.

A two-step therapeutic process involving the BLU-U in combination with Kerastick® (aminolevulinic acid HCL) eradicates up to 80% of sub-clinical and clinical AKs.

For those who want an alternative to freezing (cryotherapy) or surgical excision of pre-cancerous lesions, phototherapy with Kerastick® is the one alternative.

PDT (Photo Dynamic Therapy) is also effective for the following medical conditions:

keratosis pilaris & folliculitis
Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Warts and Molluscum
Actinic keratosis & skin cancers
Rosacea and rhinophymia
Hidradinitis
Scerloderma
Kaposi's Sarcoma
Mycosis Fungoides
