Ameluz and BF-RhodoLED

Ameluz is a prescription topical gel used specifically in conjunction with the BF-RhodoLED lamp using red light to treat mild to moderate actinic keratosis (AK) on the face and scalp.

Actinic keratosis is a potential pre-cancerous legion caused by prolonged exposure to the sun and UV rays that come in the form of scaly growths mostly red in color but can be light, dark tan, white, pink/flesh-toned, or a combination of these colors. AK is most often felt before being seen; patients often describe the feeling as comparable to running fingertips over sandpaper. While most actinic keratosis is initially benign, it can develop into any type of skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the second most common form of skin cancer.
