TREATMENTS
Phototherapy uses ultraviolet radiation with an anti-inflammatory effect to treat skin diseases. It is an effective and safe treatment, especially useful in chronic inflammatory pathologies such as psoriasis or vitiligo.
Narrowband UVB phototherapy consists of the use of specific ultraviolet (UV) radiation with an anti-inflammatory effect for the treatment of skin diseases. In the last 25 years, it has gained great importance among dermatological treatments. There are mainly three types of UV radiation lamps for dermatological use: UVA, UVB, and narrowband UVB.
Phototherapy with narrow-band UVB radiation is the most widely used at present as it has shown equal efficacy to UVA radiation in most dermatological pathologies with a lower rate of side effects. It’s the phototherapy of choice in pregnant women and children.
There are different treatment protocols in general based on the phototype of each patient. Phototype refers to the skin’s ability to assimilate solar radiation and tan. According to the ability to redden or tan, the classification ranges from phototypes I to VI, with phototype I being the lightest and VI being the darkest.
The sessions are very brief (seconds to minutes) and typically there are increases of 10-20% in energy per session, with a frequency of 2-3 times per week, reaching a response between 12 and 30 sessions.
In the Phototherapy Unit of HM Sanchinarro we have a machine model Waldmann UV 1000L with narrow band ultraviolet B radiation emission. We provide treatments tailored to each patient’s condition with a wide availability of schedules.
The treatment is performed with a cabin of controlled emission of narrow-band UVB radiation, adapting the dose to the tolerance and phototype of each patient. The sessions are short, from seconds to a few minutes, and are usually applied 2 to 3 times a week. The radiation dose is progressively increased at each session, usually by 10 to 20%, until a favorable clinical response is achieved. In most cases, results are observed between 12 and 30 sessions.
Depending on the extent of the pathology, phototherapy can be applied locally or to the whole body.
It is useful in injuries of:
The duration of the effects will depend on the type of pathology treated and subsequent follow-up. Many patients experience sustained improvement after completing the cycle, although maintenance sessions or repeat treatment may be necessary in case of relapse. Regular medical monitoring allows the protocol to be adjusted and long-term results to be optimized.
The dermatological laser is an advanced technology used to treat various skin conditions and improve skin quality. Its precision allows it to act on specific layers of the skin, offering effective results with reduced recovery time.
