The Phototherapy Unit offers specialized light-based treatments for a variety of chronic skin conditions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and other skin disorders. Phototherapy is a proven and effective treatment method that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to manage the symptoms of these conditions, providing relief for patients who may not have responded well to other treatments.
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates the skin’s cell turnover, leading to thick, scaly patches of skin. Phototherapy helps to slow down this rapid skin cell production by using controlled exposure to ultraviolet light. This treatment can significantly reduce the inflammation and scaling caused by psoriasis, allowing for smoother, healthier-looking skin. The narrowband UVB therapy is commonly used for psoriasis, and many patients experience long-term relief with regular treatment sessions.
Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses its pigmentation in certain areas, resulting in white patches. Phototherapy has been shown to help stimulate repigmentation of the skin in vitiligo patients. The narrowband UVB treatment is also used to target the areas of depigmented skin, encouraging melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) to regenerate. This treatment can gradually restore the skin’s color and improve the appearance of affected areas.
The phototherapy treatments are administered under the supervision of trained medical professionals to ensure the appropriate dosage of UV light is delivered. Sessions typically last a few minutes, and the frequency of treatments may vary depending on the severity of the condition. While phototherapy is a safe and non-invasive option for managing chronic skin conditions, it is important for patients to follow the recommended treatment schedule and take precautions to avoid overexposure to UV light.
For patients seeking an alternative to topical medications or systemic therapies, the Phototherapy Unit provides an effective and targeted treatment option that addresses the underlying causes of skin conditions, providing both short-term relief and long-term management. With a personalized approach to care, the unit’s specialists work with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs, helping them achieve clearer, healthier skin.
