Phototherapy for acne: what is the best approach?

Pages 159-172 | Published online: 10 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

Inflammatory acne vulgaris remains one of the most common dermatologic disorders seen in clinical practice. Medical therapy remains the gold standard for therapy, but recent advances have shown that a variety of lasers and light sources may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory acne vulgaris. Furthermore, the use of 20% 5-aminolevulinic acid has found a useful niche in the treatment of moderate-to-severe inflammatory acne vulgaris.
