Efficacy And Safety Of Illumination Dose Reduction In Red Light Photodynamic Therapy For Actinic Keratoses

Area will be treated according to the classic protocol, in a single session. First, the surface of the actinic keratoses will be scraped to remove scales and crusts. Using a spatula, a sufficient amount of photosensitizing cream will be applied to cover the treatment area (1 mm thick). The treated area will then be covered with an occlusive dressing for 3 hours. After this interval, the dressing will be removed and the area will be exposed to a red light source for 8 minutes with a spectrum of 630 nm and 18,5J/cm2, with the illumination intensity being less than 200 mW/cm2.
