What are Actinic Keratosis Lesions?
Actinic Keratosis (AK) lesions are a common skin condition that can signal the early onset of skin cancer in some individuals. AK lesions develop as a result to prolonged exposure to the sun, specifically ultraviolet radiation, and often take years to become visible. If left untreated, AK lesions can turn into squamous cell carcinoma, which is the second most common form of skin cancer. Luckily, the Wallaceburg Ontario photodynamic therapy treatments offered by Medical Aesthetics can help remove these lesions and prevent cancer.
