light curettage
Before the treatment, the treated area will be degreased with 0.2% aqueous chlorhexidine. Next, a light curettage will be performed on the face with a sterile curette.
Pre irradiation of 1 hour
A thin layer of the photosensitizing medication, approximately 1 mm thick, will be applied to the participant's facial lesion sites. Then an occlusive dressing will be used to enhance MAL penetration, which will be covered with aluminum foil to prevent ambient light from influencing the protoporphyrin production process. For the PDT technique, the dressing will remain on the face for 1 hour.
Pre irradiation of 3 hour
A thin layer of the photosensitizing medication, approximately 1 mm thick, will be applied to the participant's facial lesion sites. Then an occlusive dressing will be used to enhance MAL penetration, which will be covered with aluminum foil to prevent ambient light from influencing the protoporphyrin production process. For the PDT technique, the dressing will remain on the face for 3 hour.
