Abstract
Aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) is a safe and effective physical therapy for acne vulgaris that is widely used in clinical practice. To further standardize the clinical application of ALA-PDT in the treatment of acne, we created this updated consensus based on the 2011 version of the consensus on ALA-PDT for the treatment of acne vulgaris. In this document, we summarize the mechanisms of action of ALA-PDT and provide practical standards for patient selection, treatment parameters, administration procedures, and management of adverse reactions. Our aim was to provide guidance and treatment regimens for using ALA-PDT for acne vulgaris in clinical practice.
