"The achievement of this milestone signifies that dermatologists in the U.S. and abroad continue to embrace Levulan PDT for Grade 1 and 2 actinic keratoses (AKs) of the face and scalp and the beneficial outcomes it offers their patients," said Bob Doman, DUSA's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe that Levulan PDT is one of the fastest growing office based procedures in dermatology today, having achieved a 39% compounded annual growth rate in worldwide Kerastick revenues over the past four years," continued Doman.
