Actinic Keratoses (Pre-cancerous Sun Spots)

Sun-damage is the most common skin problem in Australia and pre-cancerous spots (actinic keratoses) are a major feature of this. There are some excellent modern treatments now available. In particular lasers and light treatments are able to treat broad areas of diffuse actinic keratoses and sun damage with superior cosmetic outcome than previously possible. These include the Fraxel family of lasers, photodynamic therapy and photo-dynamic IPL.
