Observational Study
Photodynamic therapy with the use of superluminescent diodes (sLED) in the treatment of actinic keratosis.
Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy 2018 June
BACKGROUND: Superluminescent diodes (sLED) appear to be an innovative and promising light source in photodynamic therapy (PDT), especially in actinic keratosis (AK) lesions treatment.
AIM: Assessment of tolerability and efficacy of sLED in topical 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) PDT of AK lesions.
METHODS: 27 patients received ALA PDT with the use of sLED with "soft starter".
RESULTS: Tolerability of sLED lamp depended on the treated lesions field (extension) rather than on their thickness. In contrast sLED lamp efficacy depended on AK lesions thickness.
CONCLUSION: sLED PDT is highly effective in the treatment of grade I and II AK lesions. Grade III AK lesions require further treatment.
