It involves the use of photoreactive drugs that are absorbed exclusively by diseased tissues while not affecting the surrounding healthy tissue. The drugs are applied on the skin and penetrate through to the targeted diseased tissue, or they are injected into the blood stream, from which the affected area absorbs the drug. The drug absorbs the light, which stimulates the drug to destroy only the diseased tissues in which the drug has been absorbed. Light-activated drug is applied topically or injected intravenously. Drug accumulates in the affected tissue.
Light activates photoreactive drug, releasing agents that destroy only affected cells.
This means that targeted tissue beneath the skin's surface can be irradiated by light that is simply shined on the skin, avoiding any need for surgical procedures. Next . . . View the LumaCare lamp specifications or explore investment opportunities .
