Treatment

Photodynamic therapy for pre-cancerous skin changes.

Photodynamic therapy is a non-surgical treatment used for certain pre-cancerous skin conditions, especially in people who have had significant sun exposure. It uses a photosensitizing medication and a light source to target abnormal cells and support early management of sun-related skin damage.

Evidence based

When used appropriately, long-term side effects are uncommon. We will review potential risks and what to expect before treatment.

Minimally invasive

Photodynamic therapy is performed as an outpatient treatment with no surgery involved.

Supports ongoing care

This treatment can be repeated as part of your long-term skin health plan.

For BC Residents:
Please be advised that I, Dr Ben Wiese hereby certify that I am un-enrolled from the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP), effective November 22nd, 2023, in accordance with the provision for such an election under section 13 of the Medicare Protection Act.
In accordance with the above, fees for services provided by myself to BC residents are the responsibility of the patient directly, and not the BC government. Patients will not be entitled to seek reimbursement for my fees from MSP. Patients should also be aware of the following implications for un-enrolled physicians and their patients:
1. For services provided in most community clinics and offices, the Medicare Protection Act (MPA) does not limit the amount that can be charged by de-enrolled physicians. If a de-enrolled physician intends to require their patients to pay the costs of a service, they must inform the patient, prior to rendering the service:
i) that the patient will be required to pay the cost directly;
ii) the amount the patient will be required to pay; and
iii) that the amount the patient pays will not be reimbursed by the Medical Services Plan (MSP).
2. De-enrolled physicians can order laboratory tests. However, laboratory services referred by a de-enrolled physicians are not payable by MSP. Patients are responsible for those costs and are not eligible for reimbursement from MSP because the service is not considered a benefit.
3. De-enrolled physicians can order diagnostic services such as x-rays and ultrasound. However, patients are responsible for the costs of diagnostic services ordered by a de-enrolled physician and are not eligible for reimbursement from MSP.
4. De-enrolled physicians can refer patients to medical specialists. Beneficiary patients referred to enrolled specialists by de-enrolled physicians may be charged privately for the difference between the specialist fee and the family practice visit fee.
