Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Treatment Efficacy Based on Participant AK Lesion Clearance
Lesion clearance at Visit 3 (month 2) and at Visit 4 (month 6)

To test the hypothesis that a short-contact PDT protocol with Ameluz and red light will produce lesion clearance outcomes that are statistically non-inferior to the traditional, painful protocol. This will be measured by Clinical Efficacy, which will be based on the AK lesion counts and lesion clearance rate after two treatments.

Differences in Pain Level Reported Throughout Exposure to Red Light
Pain measured during illumination with red light (during a 10 min period) at Visit 1 (Day 3) and at Visit 3 (Month 2)

Pain will be reported by the participants during illumination will be measured on a subjective 11-point visual-analog scale (VAS scale 0= no pain, 10 = intolerable pain)

Secondary Endpoints
Patient Satisfaction Survey as Measured by Treatment Outcome Score
6 months
Patient Satisfaction Survey as Measured by Cosmetic Outcome Score
At month 6
Number of Participant Reported Adverse Events and Side Effects
Up to 6 days (Day 6) after Visit 1
