What are the side effects of PDT treatment?

During treatment you may experience a discomfort, although with the longer duration light treatment patch, this is unlikely to be significant.

Some pigmentation (a bit like tanning) may follow the treatment and usually settles over a number of months. 

If two treatments are unsuccessful, repeat treatment will be considered and this usually occurs 12 weeks after your first 2 treatments.

Alternative therapies for these type of skin lesions include liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy), topical creams, or a surgical approach.
