Benefits

How it works

Technology

At Paramed, we employ state-of-the-art phototherapy technology that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to treat psoriasis effectively. The mechanism involves targeting the skin with UVB light, which helps to reduce inflammation and slow down the rapid growth of skin cells associated with psoriasis. This targeted approach is particularly beneficial for the legs, where the skin can be thickened and more resistant to treatment. Safety is a priority; our equipment is designed to minimize exposure while maximizing therapeutic effects, ensuring a gentle yet effective treatment experience.
