Daylight therapy against skin cancer at JUVENIS in Vienna

Skin cancer treatment with photodynamic therapy (PDT)

White skin cancer and its precursors are becoming increasingly common, with increasing age, sun exposure and tanning beds playing a significant role. Photodynamic therapy at the JUVENIS Medical Center provides targeted help here.

Photodynamic therapy "Daylight" is a particularly gentle form of therapy that is used to treat superficial tumors such as actinic keratoses (precursors of white skin cancer), Bowen's disease and superficial basal cell carcinomas (white skin cancer).

Treatment procedure

In photodynamic therapy with daylight, we apply a special active ingredient cream locally to the affected areas of skin in the practice. The effect of the cream is activated by daylight, which damages and destroys degenerated cells. This process requires a two-hour stay outdoors in sunny or slightly cloudy weather. With this therapy, you will also receive a sunscreen suitable for PDT to effectively protect you from harmful UV rays.

What makes this therapy so special?

  • Tumor cells are specifically destroyed

  • Very good healing with excellent cosmetic results

  • low pain

  • Proven long-term effectiveness

What needs to be considered after the treatment?

  • Over the next few days, it is essential to always apply a high level of sun protection (SPF 50+).

  • Redness and crusts will form on the treated areas, which must not be scraped off. These side effects will subside after one to two weeks.

When should the treatment not be carried out?
