Phototherapy (psoriasis remission) in Baku

Overview

Phototherapy is an innovative, non-invasive treatment option for psoriasis that employs specific wavelengths of light to alleviate symptoms and promote skin healing. At Paramed in Baku, we utilize advanced phototherapy techniques, including narrowband UVB and PUVA, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our experienced specialists conduct thorough assessments to determine the most effective treatment plan, ensuring a personalized approach. Sessions are typically scheduled two to three times a week, with each lasting between 15 to 30 minutes. Patients often experience significant relief from itching and inflammation, leading to improved quality of life. It is essential to note that while phototherapy is generally safe and well-tolerated, a consultation is required to identify any contraindications that may exist.

How it works

Technology

At Paramed, we utilize advanced phototherapy platforms that harness the power of specific light wavelengths to effectively treat psoriasis. The mechanism involves exposing the skin to controlled doses of ultraviolet light, which helps to slow down the rapid growth of skin cells associated with psoriasis. This targeted approach is crucial for managing flare-ups and promoting remission. The safety of our phototherapy treatments is paramount; our trained professionals ensure that each session is conducted under strict guidelines to minimize any potential side effects. Our technology not only enhances treatment efficacy but also prioritizes patient comfort and safety.
