Overview
ParamedPhototherapy for vitiligo on the knees is an innovative treatment that targets skin discoloration through advanced light therapy. This procedure employs specific wavelengths of light, such as Excimer 308 nm and Narrowband UVB 311 nm, to stimulate the skin's natural repigmentation process. By focusing on the knee area, which is often challenging to treat, this therapy aims to restore a more uniform skin tone. The treatment is tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring a personalized approach that considers the extent of vitiligo and the patient's skin type. Sessions are typically brief, lasting around 20-30 minutes, and the number of treatments required will be determined based on your response. It is essential to note that consultation is required, and contraindications may exist for certain individuals.
