Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to prove the safety and efficacy of Levulan Kerastick (aminolevulinic acid HCl) for Topical Solution 20% followed by 10 J/cm2 of blue light delivered at 10 mW/cm2 or 20 mW/cm2 in the treatment of multiple actinic keratosis on the face or balding scalp (the Treatment Area), utilizing a 14-18 hour incubation period.
