ABSTRACT
Photodynamic therapy is based in the interaction of a photoactive agent that when is properly stimulated by a specific wavelength it induces free radicals that lead to cellular necrosis. This is one of the newest treatments for some types of cancer and other inflammatory diseases. In dermatology, photodynamic therapy is used for malignant neoplasias such as basal cell carcinoma, Bowen disease —in situ squamous cell carcinoma— and more recently it has been applied to inflammatory skin diseases such as acne, rosacea, lichen plannus, lichen sclerosus et atrophicus, and other conditions— leishmaniasis, photodamaged skin, telagiectasias1.
