Light has been used in healing practices for centuries. The concept of Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) as a medical treatment first emerged in the early 1900s and has since evolved into a highly targeted, non-invasive technique.
PDT relies on the interaction of three key components:
When these components are combined, they produce a reaction that is lethal to abnormal or infected cells. This therapy has demonstrated effectiveness against bacterial, viral, and fungal (mycotic) infections and shows strong potential in targeting various types of cancer cells.
PDT has shown positive clinical outcomes in conditions like:
It may also offer enhanced therapeutic effects when used in combination with conventional cancer treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.
The photosensitizer is activated by light, transferring energy to molecular oxygen.
This energy transfer generates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).
ROS cause oxidative damage to vital cellular components—lipids, proteins, and DNA—leading to cell death.
Apoptosis (programmed cell death)
Necrosis (uncontrolled cell damage)
Autophagy (self-digestion of damaged cells)
Targets tumors in the head and neck with minimal damage to surrounding tissue
Acts as a potent antimicrobial agent against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections
Investigated for its potential to reduce oxidative stress and amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Treats acne, psoriasis, sun-damaged skin, and non-melanoma skin cancers
