May 8, 2023 updated by: Luis Antonio Torezan, University of Sao Paulo

Histological and Immunohistochemical Study of Photodamaged Skin Submitted to MAL-PDT

In this study, 26 patients were selected and included for full-face photodynamic therapy sessions. All patients presented signs of photoaging skin and multiple actinic keratosis. Photographs and Biopsies were taken before and after the procedure. Clinical and histological aspects as well as immunohistochemical aspects regarding neocollagen induction and tumor expression were evaluated.
