Skin diagnostics (fungal) in Baku
Overview
ParamedSkin diagnostics using a Wood lamp is a non-invasive procedure designed to identify fungal infections and various skin conditions effectively. This examination leverages the unique properties of ultraviolet light to illuminate the skin, revealing underlying issues that may not be visible to the naked eye. The process is swift, typically lasting only a few minutes, allowing our specialists to provide immediate insights into your skin's health. During the consultation, you will receive a personalized analysis based on the characteristics of your skin, enabling tailored treatment recommendations. This method enhances the early detection of fungal infections, promoting timely intervention. It is important to note that a consultation is required prior to the procedure, and contraindications may exist based on individual health conditions.
Benefits
ParamedHow it works
ParamedTechnology
ParamedThe Wood lamp technology utilizes a specialized light source that emits ultraviolet (UV) light, which interacts with the skin in unique ways. When the light is applied, it causes certain substances in the skin, such as fungal elements, to fluoresce, making them visible for examination. This mechanism is particularly effective in diagnosing fungal infections, as it can reveal conditions that are not apparent under normal lighting. The significance of this technology lies in its ability to provide immediate visual feedback, allowing for prompt assessment and intervention. Safety is a priority; the Wood lamp is designed to be safe for all skin types when used by trained professionals.
