Abstract:
A method of enhancing penetration of a topical composition of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into tissue for photodynamic therapy includes topically applying ALA to a treatment area to be treated with photodynamic therapy. The method further includes, after the ALA is applied to the treatment area, covering the treatment area with a low density polyethylene barrier. The treatment area is covered with the low density polyethylene barrier prior to light treatment to minimize transepidermal water loss from the treatment area.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of using 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and a low density polyethylene barrier, comprising:\n contacting a treatment site with a composition comprising the ALA so as to wet the treatment site; following wetting of the treatment site, covering the wetted treatment site with the low density polyethylene barrier; removing the low density polyethylene barrier so as to expose the treatment site; and illuminating the exposed treatment site with an illuminator so as to deliver a 10 J/cm 2  dose of blue light.
