ALA-PDT is a safe, well-tolerated, and effective treatment for many dermatologic conditions.

Current efficacy is limited primarily by the depth of penetration of the photosensitizing agent and the activating light source. Even with this limitation, the potential applications of PDT are numerous. As new technology is developed to overcome current restraints, the future of PDT is wide open.
