At the Florida Skin Cancer Institute, we’re dedicated to offering advanced, compassionate care for our patients. When it comes to addressing precancerous skin lesions, including actinic keratosis, we offer two powerful treatments: Cryosurgery and Red Light Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). Each treatment serves unique purposes in targeting and managing skin conditions while focusing on patient comfort and well-being. We are the only center in the area with FDA-approved Red Light PDT!

Cryosurgery: Precision for Individual Lesions

Cryosurgery therapy in Palm Coast, Florida is a targeted procedure that uses extreme cold to remove individual precancerous lesions. This effective treatment is ideal for isolated areas of damaged skin. By freezing these lesions, Cryosurgery destroys abnormal cells with minimal discomfort, promoting the growth of healthy skin. Our skilled team carefully monitors and customizes each treatment to achieve optimal results for every patient.

Red Light Photodynamic Therapy (PDT): Comprehensive Care for Larger Areas

For more extensive involvement, such as covering larger skin areas or entire regions like the face, Red Light PDT offers an effective solution. This non-invasive procedure involves applying a light-activated solution to the skin, followed by the application of our medical-grade red light device. The Ameluz with BF-RhodoLED is the first and only combination product for PDT, FDA-approved for field-directed treatment of actinic keratoses on the face and scalp. This powerful FDA class III device—unique to professional medical use—activates the solution to selectively target and treat abnormal cells across the skin field, helping to reduce precancerous lesions, enhance skin health, and lead to smoother skin for improved cosmetic results as well.

Targeted Care With Cryosurgery & Red Light PDT

Cryosurgery and Red Light Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) offer two advanced, non-invasive cancer treatment approaches that focus on destroying abnormal tissue while preserving healthy surrounding areas. These options are particularly useful for surface-level or early-stage cancers, and they are often chosen by patients looking for a more localized treatment with fewer systemic side effects. Our cancer specialists tailor these methods based on tumor type, size, and location to ensure the best possible outcomes.

• Minimally invasive with fast recovery times – These procedures often require no surgical incisions, resulting in shorter downtime and fewer post-treatment complications
• Ideal for early-stage and surface cancers – Especially effective for skin, cervical, and certain head and neck cancers where precision targeting is key
• Reduced risk of systemic side effects – Since treatments are localized, there’s minimal impact on the rest of the body, making them easier to tolerate than chemotherapy or radiation
• Cryosurgery uses extreme cold to destroy cancer cells – A precise technique that freezes and kills targeted tissue while sparing nearby healthy structures
• Photodynamic Therapy combines light and special drugs to target cancer – Once activated by red light, the medication destroys only cancerous cells, preserving healthy ones and limiting scarring
