About Lymphedema at Plano Clinic
Lymphedema involves lymphatic fluid buildup that can cause swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility. Photodynamic therapy has been used clinically for more than 50 years as a non-invasive adjunctive option studied across inflammatory and tissue-recovery conditions. At Plano Clinic, lymphedema-related care is approached with scientific evidence and physician oversight.
- Focus on swelling-related discomfort and functional limitations
- Research-backed photodynamic modalities that support cellular recovery pathways
- Personalized plans supervised by family physicians and specialists as needed
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), previously known as low-level laser therapy, uses visible and near-infrared light (450–1100 nm) to trigger photochemical changes within cells. It has been studied clinically for more than 50 years as a non-invasive option for pain relief and inflammatory conditions.
Every treatment we offer — including Lymphedema — is backed by scientific research and our expert Canadian doctors.
