Brief Title: Laser and Microdermabrasion Before Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratoses in Field-cancerized Skin
Official Title: Pretreatment With Ablative Fractional Laser and Microdermabrasion Before Photodynamic Therapy for Actinic Keratoses in Field-cancerized Skin
Study ID: NCT03006185
Brief Summary: Comparison of treatment efficacy and safety of pretreatment with ablative fractional laser versus microdermabrasion combined with large-area photodynamic therapy with methyl aminolevulinate for actinic keratoses
Detailed Description: For each study participant, two test areas (A and B) are demarcated in the same anatomical region, with each area containing no less than 5 actinic keratoses (AKs). Test areas are randomized to receive skin pretreatment of EITHER ablative fractional laser OR microdermabrasion prior to photodynamic therapy using methyl aminolevulinate. Efficacy, local skin reactions and safety of both test areas are evaluated over a 12-15 week follow up period.
