Actinic Keratosis (AKs) are considered to be the first step in the development of skin cancer with the potential to progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). While most AKs remain benign, studies have shown that approximately 10 percent develop into SCC within an average of 2 years. Since there is no way to know which AKs will develop into SCC, it is very important for individuals with AKs to be under a dermatologist’s care. Frequent skin examinations are the key to early detection and prevention. At Physician Laser Centers, we offer Levulan Photodynamic Therapy for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratoses (Grade 1 or 2) of the face or scalp. This treatment has less downtime than traditional methods with no daily medication to remember and is covered by some insurance companies. Please contact our office to learn more about Levulan Photodynamic Therapy. |
