In about last 20 years there has been a growing effort in making use of photoactive substances that after incorporation in cells are able to use the energy of noninvasive radiation to liquidate diseased cells by programmed death, so called apoptosis. This effort begins to be effective by registration of a new medication containing methylaminolevulinate – a hydrophilic ester of δ-aminolevulinic acid. Other sensibilizers that could broaden the treatment choice and potentially enable a choice according diseased cells, location of involved tissue etc. are being explored.

Rosacea is one of the most common conditions dermatologists treat. Disease is characterized by transient or persistent central facial erythema, visible blood vessels, papules and pustules. The cause of rosacea remains unclear. Several hypotheses have been documented – vascular abnormalities, environmental factors or microorganisms like Demodex folliculorum and Helicobacter pylori. Treatment targets usually the signs and symptoms of the disease. Gentle skin care is necessary.
