Abstract
Recent decades have seen the inclusion of acne vulgaris as a potential new indication for photodynamic therapy. Photodynamic therapy and light sources can be considered to be additional tools for primary or adjunctive therapy in patients with recurrent acne or those in whom it is not possible to use other treatments. We investigated the use of pulsed dye laser plus methylaminolevulinate for photodynamic therapy and have performed a comparative study of the use of this laser alone and as an element in photodynamic therapy.
Keywords:
Acne
Photodynamic therapy
Pulsed dye laser
Resumen
La terapia fotodinámica (TFD) ha emergido en las últimas décadas en el estudio de potenciales nuevas indicaciones entre las que se encuentra el acné vulgar. La TFD y otras fuentes de luz pueden ser consideradas una herramienta adicional en el empleo, como tratamiento único o adyuvante, en pacientes con cuadros recidivantes o en los que no es posible la utilización de otras opciones terapéuticas. Planteamos la utilización de láser de colorante pulsado y metilaminolevulinato para la TFD. Realizamos un estudio comparativo entre el empleo aislado del láser de colorante pulsado frente a la terapia fotodinámica.
