Topical photodynamic therapy is an established method of treating some types of non-melanoma skin cancers. Modifications to the standard protocol have recently been adopted that increase its therapeutic efficacy. This case study describes two female patients with multiple actinic keratoses who were simultaneously treated with the standard and modified protocols for methyl aminolevulinate and fractional radiofrequency combined with ultrasound in two different, symmetrically located, affected areas. This study’s objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the transepidermal application of drugs in photodynamic therapy combined with new methods such as the proposed treatment.
