Cryotherapy Vs. Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratoses
Bottom Line: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) -which uses topical agents and light to kill tissue, appears to better clear actinic keratoses (AKs, a common skin lesion caused by sun damage) at three months after treatment than cryotherapy (which uses liquid nitrogen to freeze lesions).
