Phototherapy (psoriasis scalp) in Baku

Overview

Phototherapy for psoriasis on the scalp is a non-invasive treatment option that aims to alleviate symptoms and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition. At Paramed in Baku, we utilize advanced phototherapy techniques tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. This treatment involves the application of specific wavelengths of light to the affected areas, which can help reduce inflammation, itching, and scaling. Our experienced specialists will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include multiple sessions over a defined period. Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, ensuring a comfortable experience. It is important to note that while many patients experience significant improvement, consultation is required as contraindications may exist.

Benefits

How it works

Technology

Our phototherapy utilizes a specialized light platform designed to deliver targeted wavelengths that penetrate the skin effectively. The mechanism involves the activation of natural processes within the skin that help to reduce the rapid turnover of skin cells, a hallmark of psoriasis. This is particularly important for scalp psoriasis, as it helps to alleviate symptoms and promote healthier skin. The safety of this treatment is paramount; our equipment is regularly maintained and operated by trained professionals to ensure optimal results while minimizing any risks. Patients can expect a comfortable experience with minimal side effects, making it a preferred choice for many seeking relief from psoriasis.
