Overview

Phototherapy is a non-invasive and effective treatment for psoriasis, especially in the knee areas, where the condition can be particularly stubborn. At Paramed in Baku, we employ state-of-the-art phototherapy techniques that utilize specific wavelengths of light to target affected skin. This treatment not only helps reduce inflammation and itching but also promotes skin healing and enhances the overall appearance of the skin. Each treatment plan is customized to meet your individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes. Our experienced specialists will guide you through the process, providing a comfortable and supportive environment. It's important to note that a consultation is required to determine suitability, and contraindications may exist.

Benefits

  • Promotes skin healing and improves overall appearance.
  • Non-invasive and generally well-tolerated.

How it works

During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and discuss your treatment goals. The phototherapy sessions are quick and typically last around 15-30 minutes. You will be monitored throughout the process to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

Technology

At Paramed, we utilize advanced phototherapy technology that employs a specialized light source designed to deliver targeted wavelengths. This mechanism works by penetrating the skin to reduce the rapid growth of skin cells, which is a hallmark of psoriasis. The precision of our equipment ensures that only the affected areas are treated, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin. This is particularly important for knee psoriasis, where the skin can be sensitive and prone to irritation. Safety is a top priority; our trained professionals monitor each session to ensure comfort and effectiveness while adhering to strict safety protocols.
