Therapy users need to take certain precautions and abide by some protocols which include not exposing skin to sunlight after the therapy and applying patch tests before fully utilizing the device. Overall, by being properly educated on the risks, the potential for PDT to provide therapy is plentiful while keeping it straightforward and safe.
