Phototherapy (psoriasis elbows) in Baku

Overview

Phototherapy is a highly effective non-invasive treatment option for psoriasis, especially in the elbow areas, where the condition can be particularly stubborn. At Paramed in Baku, we leverage cutting-edge technologies to deliver personalized care that addresses your specific skin needs. Our approach involves a thorough assessment during your initial consultation, allowing us to tailor the treatment plan to your unique condition. Each phototherapy session is designed to target the affected areas with precision, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. Patients often experience a significant reduction in itching and discomfort, enhancing their overall quality of life. It's important to note that while many find relief through this treatment, a consultation is required to determine suitability, as contraindications may exist.

Benefits

How it works

Technology

At Paramed, we utilize advanced phototherapy technology that employs targeted light wavelengths to treat psoriasis effectively. The mechanism involves delivering specific light frequencies that penetrate the skin, reducing inflammation and promoting skin cell turnover. This is particularly beneficial for elbow psoriasis, where the skin can become thickened and itchy. The precision of our equipment ensures that only the affected areas are treated, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin. Safety is paramount; our trained specialists monitor each session to ensure optimal results while minimizing any potential side effects.
