Benefits

How it works

Technology

Our phototherapy utilizes advanced UV light technology, specifically designed to treat psoriasis effectively. The mechanism involves exposing the skin to controlled doses of ultraviolet light, which helps to slow down the rapid growth of skin cells that characterizes psoriasis. This targeted approach is crucial for treating the hands, as it minimizes exposure to surrounding healthy skin, reducing the risk of side effects. The safety of this treatment is paramount; our equipment is calibrated to ensure optimal results while maintaining patient safety. Regular monitoring during sessions ensures that the treatment remains effective and comfortable.
