Enhanced uptake and photoactivation of topical methyl aminolevulinate after fractional CO2 laser pretreatment
Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskrift › Tidsskriftartikel › Forskning › fagfællebedømt
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of thick skin lesions is limited by topical drug uptake. Ablative fractional resurfacing (AFR) creates vertical channels that may facilitate topical PDT drug penetration and improve PDT-response in deep skin layers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether pre-treating the skin with AFR before topically applied methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) could enable a deep PDT-response.
