Incorporating photodynamic therapy into a medical and cosmetic dermatology practice.

Effective in the treatment of a growing variety of skin conditions, photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is rising rapidly in popularity among both practitioners and patients, despite the fact that many applications are not yet cleared by the Food and Drug Administration. Because of its versatility, safety, efficacy, cosmetic benefits, and potential financial advantages, ALA-PDT may soon be a mainstay in many clinical settings. This article provides an overview of this easy-to-use treatment modality and a guide to implementing ALA-PDT into practice, including pretreatment and post-treatment protocols and guidelines for managing side effects.

In vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy in dermatology.

The need to improve the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity for skin tumours has led to the development of new non-invasive, in vivo techniques including ultrasound, dermoscopy, digital photography, confocal scanning laser microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging and optical coherence tomography. Of all these in vivo techniques, only confocal scanning laser microscopy allows for the examination of the epidermis and papillary dermis at a resolution approaching histological detail. This review article looks at some of the most important applications of this new technology, highlighting its qualities and limitations.
