Light Therapy for Precancerous Skin

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 96573

A light-sensitizing medication is applied to abnormal, sun-damaged patches of skin, and a special light source is then used to activate it and destroy the treated cells. This approach targets areas of skin with early, precancerous changes before they can progress further. It's a non-surgical way to treat these patches without cutting into the skin.
