Daylight Photodynamic Therapy (D-PDT): non-invasive actinic keratosis treatment with natural daylight is available from now at Dr Bela Clinic, Chiswick
We are excited to announce the introduction of Daylight Photodynamic Therapy (Daylight-PDT) at Dr Bela Clinic in Chiswick! This cutting-edge, noninvasive skin treatment effectively targets actinic keratosis using natural daylight as the light source. Our recent training day with a highly experienced NHS nurse—who has over 22 years of experience in photodynamic therapy—marks the official launch of this advanced therapy in our West London dermatology clinic.
Our Training Day: Expert Guidance and Patient Care
To ensure we deliver the highest standard of care, I completed comprehensive practical training with a specialist NHS nurse right here at our clinic. Together, we treated our first two patients, thoroughly discussing the Daylight-PDT protocol with them and guiding them through each step of the procedure. After careful consultation, checking contraindications, medication and answering the patient’s questions, we prepared the treatment area for the application of AMELUZ® 78mg/g gel, which is specifically formulated for Daylight Photodynamic Therapy. Following that, we sent out our patients to enjoy two hours of natural daylight exposure on this beautiful autumn day. This treatment’s reliance on daylight provides an experience that is as effective as it is comfortable, all while addressing chronic sun-damaged skin.
What is Daylight Photodynamic Therapy?
Daylight-PDT is a revolutionary approach to actinic keratosis treatment in West London. The treatment involves applying a photosensitising gel to the affected area. When exposed to natural daylight, this gel activates and selectively targets abnormal skin cells, leaving healthy tissue unaffected. As a result, Daylight Photodynamic Therapy offers a gentler, more comfortable alternative to traditional photodynamic therapies, with minimal discomfort for patients.
By using sunlight, Daylight-PDT eliminates the need for specialist equipment, making it a convenient option for patients looking to avoid invasive procedures. It is highly effective and well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing little to no discomfort during the procedure. This treatment is particularly suitable for larger treatment areas, such as the face and scalp, making it ideal for patients with extensive sun damage or field cancerisation.
Why Choose Daylight-PDT at Dr Bela Clinic?
Dr Bela Clinic in Chiswick is proud to offer Daylight Photodynamic Therapy London residents can trust. Here’s why our Daylight-PDT stands out:
– Well-trained and experienced dermatologist Dr Bela performs non-invasive procedures.
– Patient Comfort: Patients experience minimal discomfort, as the treatment uses natural daylight instead of artificial light sources.
– No Equipment Needed: Daylight-PDT uses the natural light spectrum, allowing treatment without specialist equipment and minimising the need for clinic visits.
– Large Treatment Areas: There’s no limit on the repetition or size of the treatment area, making it effective for larger areas of sun-damaged skin.
– Convenient and Effective: This therapy offers a high patient satisfaction rate, with studies showing up to 70% of lesions cleared after 12 weeks.
Is Daylight-PDT Right for You?
If you have mild to moderate actinic keratosis or areas of significant sun damage, Daylight-PDT may be an ideal choice. This gentle, non-invasive skin therapy is effective on chronic sun-damaged skin, especially on the face and scalp. Additionally, Dr Bela Clinic offers a thorough consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.
This natural daylight treatment may not be appropriate for everyone, so during your initial consultation, we’ll discuss any medical conditions and determine whether Daylight Photodynamic Therapy is the right fit for you. For those dealing with severely sun-damaged skin and actinic keratosis on larger areas, Daylight-PDT offers a highly effective, comfortable way to address these lesions while also contributing to skin cancer prevention.
