Overview

Wood's lamp diagnosis is a highly effective method that allows for a deeper understanding of your skin's condition. Using a special ultraviolet light that penetrates the upper layers of the dermis, it can identify issues such as fungal infections, vitiligo, and assess pigmentation levels and the presence of other skin diseases. The procedure is completely painless and takes only a few minutes, making it an ideal choice for those who value their time. It is important to note that the diagnosis does not require special preparation, and you can continue with your usual activities immediately afterward. The results of the diagnosis will help specialists select individual procedures for your skin care. Remember that a consultation is necessary; there are contraindications.

How it works

The Wood's lamp diagnosis procedure takes place in a comfortable setting. The specialist examines the skin using the lamp, allowing for detailed information about the skin's condition. The entire process takes only a few minutes.

Technology

The Wood's lamp is a modern device that uses ultraviolet radiation to diagnose the condition of the skin. Its principle of operation is based on fluorescence, where certain skin diseases manifest under UV light. This is especially important for diagnosing hidden issues, such as fungal infections or pigmentation changes, which may not be visible during a regular examination. The safety of the procedure is ensured by the use of certified equipment, minimizing the risk of negative consequences. The Wood's lamp allows for a quick and accurate assessment of the skin's condition, making it an indispensable tool in dermatology.
