Dr. Timothy Jochen, Board Certified Dermatologist with Contour Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Center in Rancho Mirage, La Quinta and Palm Springs, California, discusses how Blue Light Photodynamic Therapy treats pre-cancerous actinic keratoses as well as acne.
Treatment of actinic keratoses (AK) patients also involves the addition of Levulan – a light-sensitizing agent. Blue Light therapy has a 90% cure rate for AK. Treatment of AK is typically covered by insurance.
