Summary
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) using methyl aminolevulinate (MAL) is an effective first-line
treatment for actinic keratosis (AK). Erbium: yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) ablative
fractional laser-assisted MAL-PDT (AFL-PDT) has shown significant benefit for the treatment
of AK. However, knowledge on the optimal photosensitizer incubation time for AFL-PDT is
limited
