Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a licensed and established procedure for the treatment of actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, and Bowen's disease, but there are several new and clinically relevant developments and trends. These concern on the one hand the main components of PDT, which are the photosensitizer and the light source. Furthermore, modifications and therapy combinations have been developed that lead to an improved therapeutic efficacy. An important aspect of field-directed PDT is also skin cancer prevention. Finally, PDT has been used successfully for nonlicensed indications including inflammatory diseases and skin rejuvenation. This article focuses on these new developments and on recent guideline recommendations.
