Exogenous photosensitizers Merocyanine dyes λ ε max = 380 nm; 589 nm Azo dyes λ ε max = 530-635 nm A.Planner and D.Frąckowiak (2001) J.Photochem. Photobiol. A:Chem. 140, 223-228. S.J.Isak et al. (2000) J.Photochem. Photobiol. A:Chem. 134, 77-85.

Conclusions Photothermal laser therapy is attractive because: - wide range of applications - no prolonged cutaneous photosensitivity - possibility to treat pigmented tumours - does not depend on reactive oxygen species
