ABSTRACT
Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological disorder. Topical photodynamic therapy (PDT)-mediated with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) or methyl aminolevulinic acid (MAL) has been successfully used in the treatment of moderate to severe acne. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the feasibility of using a repeat weekly short-cycle ALA-PDT to treat severe facial acne lesions refractory to systemic retinoid and antibiotics.
