Laser treatments are not typically used as a primary method to protect or prevent skin cancer. However, lasers may be employed in certain situations as part of the treatment for precancerous or cancerous skin conditions. Here are a few instances where lasers might be used:
Actinic Keratosis (Precancerous Lesions): Lasers, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) or erbium YAG lasers, may be used to remove actinic keratosis, which are precancerous lesions caused by sun damage.
Superficial Skin Cancers: Laser therapy might be considered for certain superficial skin cancers, particularly non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, traditional surgical methods, such as excision or Mohs surgery, are more common for treating these types of skin cancers.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): While not a laser treatment per se, PDT involves the use of light (often from a laser) to activate a photosensitizing agent applied to the skin. It is sometimes used for treating certain precancerous lesions and superficial skin cancers.
