Abstract:

The authors present the results of analysis of the literature data concerning the new possibilities for the application of visible and infrared electromagnetic radiation filtered through water in different domains of medical practice including dermatology. The use of the new PhotoDyn 759 apparatus for photodynamic therapy is described.

Keywords:

electromagnetic radiation
