At DermEdge®, we proudly offer the Metvix light therapy treatment, a cutting-edge solution for non-invasive skin cancer treatment and the reduction of sun damage. This advanced therapy uses a specialized light source to activate the Metvix cream applied to the skin, selectively targeting and destroying abnormal cells while preserving healthy tissue. The procedure is safe, effective, and leaves minimal scarring.
Metvix light therapy is an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical approach to treat certain types of skin conditions with precision and care. Scroll down to learn more about how Metvix light therapy works and how it can benefit your skin health.
Metvix Photodynamic Therapy is a non-invasive, in-office procedure designed to treat multiple pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions on the skin’s surface.
This treatment involves applying a topical cream (Metvix), followed by light exposure to selectively target and destroy atypical skin cells.
Get the Facts:
Metvix Photodynamic Therapy is Health Canada-approved for treating one of the most common types of skin cancer, superficial basal cell carcinoma, and actinic keratoses – lesions caused by sun damage that can potentially turn into cancer.
The Metvix (methyl aminolevulinate cream) specifically reacts with targeted skin cells, while the surrounding healthy skin cells experience minimal to no reaction from the treatment.
