How it works

Paramed

During your initial consultation, our specialists will assess your condition and discuss your treatment goals. The phototherapy sessions are typically conducted in a comfortable setting, where targeted light is applied to the affected areas. Each session lasts approximately 15-30 minutes, and the frequency will be determined based on your specific needs.

Technology

Paramed

Our clinic employs advanced narrowband UVB phototherapy, a leading-edge technology for treating scalp psoriasis. This method utilizes a specific wavelength of light that penetrates the skin effectively, targeting the overactive skin cells responsible for psoriasis. The mechanism involves suppressing the immune response that triggers the rapid skin cell turnover associated with this condition. This is particularly important for scalp psoriasis, where targeted treatment can lead to significant improvements in both appearance and comfort. Safety is a priority; our trained professionals ensure that the light exposure is controlled and monitored throughout the treatment process, minimizing any potential risks.

Platform: Narrowband UVB phototherapy

Comparison

Paramed

Compared to traditional topical treatments, phototherapy offers a more targeted approach to managing scalp psoriasis.
