Extrait

Compare how well the 3 following treatments improve mild to moderate acne vulgaris: 1. Intense pulsed light (IPL) 2. IPL + a photosensitiser (which augments IPL's activity). Explanatory note: The use of LIGHT + PHOTOSENSITISER together as a form of treatment is called 'photodynamic therapy' or PDT. The photosensitiser to be used for this study is called 'methyl aminolevulinate' or 'MAL' (Metvix, Galderma UK Ltd). Therefore PDT using MAL can be referred to as MAL-PDT. 3. 0.1% Adapalene gel (Differin)
