involves removing or reducing precancerous skin lesions from sun damage
Actinic Keratosis Treatment, also known as AK Treatment or Solar Keratosis Treatment, involves various methods to remove or reduce precancerous skin lesions caused by prolonged sun exposure. Common treatments include cryotherapy (freezing the lesions with liquid nitrogen), topical medications (such as 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod), photodynamic therapy (using light-activated drugs), and laser therapy. These treatments aim to prevent the progression of actinic keratosis to squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer.
