Topical photodynamic therapy is an evolving relatively new modality in dermatology. While widely used in Europe for treatment of actinic keratoses and skin cancer, topical photodynamic therapy is still relatively unfamiliar in the United States. Approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 1999, photodynamic therapy is now being evaluated for superficial epidermal tumors, acne, and cosmetic applications. This article reviews recent advances in this field, with emphasis on skin rejuvenation, acne, and hair removal.
局部光动力疗法是皮肤科一种不断发展的相对较新的治疗方式。虽然在欧洲广泛用于治疗光化性角化病和皮肤癌，但在美国仍相对不太为人所知。光动力疗法于1999年获得美国食品药品监督管理局批准，目前正在针对浅表性表皮肿瘤、痤疮和美容应用进行评估。本文回顾了该领域的最新进展，重点是皮肤年轻化、痤疮和脱毛。
