Phototherapy (vitiligo knees) in Baku
Overview
ParamedPhototherapy for vitiligo on the knees is a cutting-edge treatment that focuses on restoring skin pigmentation in affected areas. This non-invasive procedure employs specific wavelengths of light, such as Excimer 308 nm and Narrowband UVB 311 nm, which are known for their effectiveness in stimulating melanin production. The treatment is tailored to each individual, ensuring that the unique characteristics of your skin and the extent of vitiligo are taken into account. Sessions typically last between 20 to 30 minutes, and many patients report noticeable improvements in skin tone after a series of treatments. This approach not only aims to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the knees but also boosts self-confidence and overall well-being. Consultation required; contraindications exist.
Benefits
ParamedHow it works
ParamedTechnology
ParamedAt Paramed, we utilize advanced phototherapy techniques specifically designed for treating vitiligo on the knees. The primary platforms include Excimer laser and Narrowband UVB light therapy. These technologies work by emitting targeted wavelengths that penetrate the skin, stimulating the melanocytes responsible for pigment production. This is particularly important for knee areas, where skin may be thicker and more resistant to treatment. The precision of these technologies ensures that surrounding healthy skin is minimally affected, enhancing safety and efficacy. Both methods have been extensively studied and are recognized for their effectiveness in managing vitiligo. Safety is paramount, and our trained specialists monitor each session closely to ensure optimal results.
