5. Treatment with photodynamic therapy

Photodynamic therapy (PTD) uses a strong light to get rid of unhealthy or unwanted skin cells. It is a commonly used treatment for the face and scalp. First, a topical agent is applied to the patch to make the skin more sensitive to light. Then, the skin is exposed to a strong light which destroys the AK but spares the healthy skin, where the topical agent was not applied.
