Overview

Phototherapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment for psoriasis that harnesses specific wavelengths of light to alleviate symptoms and promote skin healing. At Paramed in Baku, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and techniques tailored to each patient's unique condition. Our experienced specialists conduct thorough assessments to create personalized treatment plans, ensuring optimal results. Sessions are typically scheduled two to three times a week, with each lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. Patients often report significant improvements in skin appearance and comfort. While phototherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, a consultation is required to determine suitability, as contraindications may exist.

Benefits

1. Effective symptom relief: Phototherapy can significantly reduce the severity of psoriasis symptoms. 2. Non-invasive: This treatment option does not require surgery or extensive recovery time. 3. Customizable: Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's unique condition and response. 4. Safe and well-tolerated: Phototherapy is generally safe with minimal side effects when administered by trained professionals.

How it works

During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and discuss your treatment goals. Phototherapy sessions are typically scheduled two to three times a week, depending on your specific needs. Each session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, during which you will be exposed to targeted light wavelengths.

Technology

Our phototherapy utilizes advanced narrowband UVB technology, which emits specific light wavelengths that target psoriasis lesions effectively. This mechanism works by slowing down the rapid growth of skin cells, reducing inflammation and scaling. The precision of our equipment allows for targeted treatment, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin. This is crucial for managing psoriasis, as it helps achieve better outcomes with fewer side effects. Safety is a priority; our trained professionals monitor each session closely to ensure patient well-being. Regular follow-ups are conducted to assess progress and adjust treatment as necessary.

Comparison

Phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment option for psoriasis that offers several advantages over traditional therapies, such as systemic medications or topical treatments. Unlike systemic medications, phototherapy targets the skin directly with minimal systemic side effects. Additionally, it does not require the extensive recovery time associated with surgical options. While topical treatments can be effective, they may not provide the same level of relief for moderate to severe cases, making phototherapy a preferred choice for many patients.
