The ability of ablative fractional lasers (AFL) to enhance topical drug uptake is well established. After AFL delivery, however, drug clearance by local vasculature is poorly understood. Modifications in vascular clearance may enhance AFL‐assisted drug concentrations and prolong drug dwell time in the skin. Aiming to assess the role and modifiability of vascular clearance after AFL‐assisted delivery, this study examined the impact of vasoregulative interventions on AFL‐assisted 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) concentrations in in vivo skin.
