During the course of PDT, AK has been found to regress; meantime, lentigines, roughness, and fine lines advance on the photoaged skin. In this study, we adopted a noninvasive biophysical platform MPA580 to analyze skin indices of aging, including elasticity, hydration, sebum, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), melanin, erythema, and pH value. We aimed to provide additional quantitative evidence showing that PDT, used in a standard therapeutic regimen that is known to ameliorate AK, can also have significant anti-photoaging effects in a population of older adults with type III-IV skin.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><div>Eighteen volunteers, 12 males and 6 females, mean age 74 years, histopathologically diagnosed with AK were included. Two sessions of PDT were conducted with a 4-week interval. The photosensitizer, 10 % aminolevulinic acid (Ameluz®) was applied to the whole face with occlusion for 2 h, and the whole face was irradiated with a 630-nm light source for 26 min at a mean light dose of 78 J/cm<sup>2</sup>. Skin biophysical assessments were sequentially performed at four time points.

The PA group was followed up at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. Retinal and choroidal parameters in the macula(M) area and optic nerve head(ONH) area were assessed, including thickness(T), volume(V), vascular flow density (VFD), foveal avascular zone (FAZ), choroidal vascular volume (CVV) and choroidal vascular index (CVI).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Comparison of retinal and choroidal morphology and blood flow between the case group and the control group showed significant increases in the deep capillary plexus (DCP) thickness and volume in the macula.

These parameters further decreased after decompression surgery, likely due to secondary changes from optic nerve atrophy caused by tumor compression. The continulous improvement of SCP foveal avascular zone within 300 μm(FAZ300) may be related to the recovery of blood flow after the decompression, as the macular cells remain intact. These parameters—SCP-FAZ300, LMCV-CVI/CSI, and SCP-ONH T/V—collectively quantify postoperative visual acuity(VA)and visual field(VF) outcomes and guide surgical timing selection.These findings suggest that PA patients require earlier screening and treatment, and OCTA can serve as an optimal non-invasive evaluation tool.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20141,"journal":{"name":"Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 104639"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144103449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
