Phototherapy (psoriasis knees) in Baku

Overview

Phototherapy is a highly effective non-invasive treatment for psoriasis, especially in the knee areas, where the skin can be particularly challenging. At Paramed in Baku, we employ state-of-the-art technologies tailored to your specific skin condition. Our experienced specialists will conduct a thorough assessment during your initial consultation, ensuring that your treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs. Phototherapy works by utilizing controlled light exposure to reduce inflammation and promote healing in affected areas. This method not only alleviates symptoms but also enhances the overall appearance of the skin. Sessions are typically brief, lasting between 15 to 30 minutes, and are designed to be comfortable and efficient. Please note that a consultation is required, and contraindications may exist.

How it works

Technology

At Paramed, we utilize advanced phototherapy technology that employs a specialized light source to target psoriasis lesions effectively. The mechanism involves the use of UV light, which penetrates the skin to reduce the rapid growth of skin cells that characterizes psoriasis.

The safety of our phototherapy treatments is paramount; we ensure that all sessions are conducted under professional supervision to minimize any risks. Our equipment is regularly maintained and calibrated to provide optimal results while adhering to safety standards.
