Therapies For Actinic Keratosis With A Focus On Cosmetic Outcomes

Abstract

Actinic keratosis (AK) is a commonly encountered premalignant epidermal lesion that has a predilection to manifest on highly visible areas such as the face, head, and hands. Lesions may be cosmetically unappealing and have been reported to reduce patients' quality of life (QOL), but appropriate treatment can resolve these issues. In this article, we review the efficacy of the most commonly utilized treatments for AKs including topical medications, procedural modalities, and light-based therapies, and we discuss the relevant cosmetic considerations and outcomes.
