This study is being done to compare a new, continuous illumination and short Incubation time regimen of aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy#ALA-PDT) to a conventional regimen for treatment of Actinic Keratosis. The hypothesis is that the continuous illumination approach will be less or even no painful, but equally efficacious, as the old regimen.
