Overview

Phototherapy for psoriasis and vitiligo in Baku is available at Paramed with two light sources: the Excimer 308 nm laser and narrowband UVB 311 nm. The excimer laser treats individual plaques or patches precisely. UVB covers larger areas of skin. Every course starts with an examination by our dermatologist, Dr. Aybeniz Mammedli. She confirms the diagnosis, decides whether phototherapy is suitable and sets the regimen. Phototherapy can calm psoriasis plaques, support remission and encourage repigmentation in vitiligo. It may also be part of a plan for seborrheic dermatitis. Psoriasis and vitiligo are chronic, so the goal is control, not a promised cure. Pricing is by pulses, from 40 AZN.

Technology

The Excimer 308 nm laser delivers concentrated ultraviolet B light to a small window, so it can treat a plaque or patch while sparing the skin around it. Narrowband UVB 311 nm emits a slightly longer wavelength over a wider field. In psoriasis, the light helps calm and flatten plaques. In vitiligo, it aims to stimulate pigment cells. Doses are measured in pulses, which also determine the price.

  • Excimer 308 nm: 50 AZN for 10 pulses, 100 AZN for 50–100
  • UVB 311 nm: 40 AZN for 10 pulses, 70 AZN for 50–100
  • Extra 50 pulses: 30 AZN excimer, 20 AZN UVB
  • Indications: psoriasis, vitiligo, seborrheic dermatitis by indication

Comparison

Phototherapy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments for skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Unlike systemic medications that may have significant side effects, phototherapy targets only the affected areas with light, minimizing risks. Additionally, it can be more effective than topical treatments that may not penetrate deeply enough to provide relief.
