| Advantages of Photocure Technology™ |
| - Highly selective treatment that preserves healthy tissue |
| - Earlier and more accurate diagnosis |
| - Few side-effects |
| - Well documented |
| - Sets new standards for diagnosis and treatment of several conditions |
1. The product is applied to the affected area and taken up into the cells.
2. The nature of diseased cells causes the product to accumulate in greater amounts than in normal cells. Inside the cells, the product is transformed into a substance that can be activated by light.
3. The treated area is then illuminated. The illumination either makes the diseased cells visible for diagnosis or removes/destroys the diseased cells (therapy). (See figure)
|
The technology is very selective, affecting only diseased cells
and preserving healthy tissue. |
