Acne vulgaris can represent a therapeutic challenge in terms of managing ongoing symptoms and preventing scar formation. While the copious variations of available treatments address milder forms of the disease, until recently, therapies for resistant or moderate-to-severe forms were limited to systemic agents that were accompanied by potentially severe side-effects. With the addition of lasers, light sources, and aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) therapies, dermatologists may now have viable new alternatives for treating all grades of acne severity that circumvent the negative side-effects associated with many conventional options.
寻常痤疮在控制持续症状和预防瘢痕形成方面可能是一项治疗挑战。虽然现有治疗方法种类繁多，可应对病情较轻的形式，但直到最近，针对耐药或中重度痤疮的治疗方法仍局限于全身性药物，这些药物可能会带来严重的副作用。随着激光、光源和氨基乙酰丙酸光动力疗法（ALA-PDT）的加入，皮肤科医生现在可能有了可行的新选择，可用于治疗各种严重程度的痤疮，避免了许多传统疗法的负面副作用。
