English abstract Daylight photodynamic therapy (daylight-PDT) has been used in the treatment of facial and scalp actinic keratoses (AKs) as an alternative of similar efficacy but with greater tolerance than the conventional form of the procedure (c-PDT). Twelve patients performed 2 sessions of daylight-PDT with 30-day intervals without major adverse events. Improvement of AKs and photorejuvenation were observed. Repeated sessions of daylight-PDT are well tolerated and may increase clinical and aesthetic benefit in patients with face and scalp AKs
Portuguese abstract A terapia fotodinâmica com luz do dia tem sido utilizada no tratamento das ceratoses actínicas de face e de couro cabeludo como alternativa de eficácia semelhante, mas com maior tolerância do que a forma convencional do procedimento. Doze pacientes realizaram duas sessões de terapia fotodinâmica com luz do dia com intervalos de 30 dias sem efeitos adversos importantes. Foi observada melhora das ceratoses actínicas e fotorrejuvenescimento. Sessões repetidas de terapia fotodinâmica com luz do dia são bem toleradas e podem aumentar o benefício clínico e estético em pacientes com ceratoses actínicas de face e de couro cabeludo
