Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) – Targeted Treatment Without Scalpels and Side Effects
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a modern, gentle treatment method that uses light of a specific wavelength and a photosensitizing agent. After accumulating in pathological tissues, light exposure triggers a cascade of photochemical reactions that destroy only diseased cells, leaving healthy ones unharmed.

After accumulating in pathological tissues, light exposure triggers a cascade of photochemical reactions that destroy only diseased cells, leaving healthy ones unharmed.
The method is actively used in dermatology, gynecology, otolaryngology, cancer prevention, and cosmetology.
How PDT Works:
- A photosensitizer, a substance that increases tissue sensitivity to light, is applied or introduced to the pathological area.
- After 30–60 minutes, laser or diode lamp light of a specific wavelength is directed at the treatment area.
- The light activates the photosensitizer, causing the formation of reactive oxygen species that selectively destroy affected cells without damaging healthy tissues.
- Healing, regeneration, and recovery processes are initiated.
Advantages of the Method:
- Painlessness and minimal intervention
- No systemic impact on the body
- Selectivity – targeting only diseased cells
- No scars or marks
- Possibility of repeated application
- Enhancement of local immune response and antimicrobial action
Indications for Photodynamic Therapy:
- Skin cancer
- Skin neoplasms: actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma
- Acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis
- Papillomas, condylomas
- Precancerous conditions of the cervix (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia)
- Cervical erosion, cervicitis
- Chronic inflammations of ENT organs
- Infections caused by viruses and fungi
- Wounds, ulcers, impaired healing
Photodynamic therapy is a safe alternative to surgical intervention, effectively addressing benign and precancerous processes, inflammations, and infections. Schedule a consultation at Genesis Dnepr and choose a gentle treatment with scientifically proven effectiveness.
