UV Photo Therapy Fights Psoriasis

"Psoriasis May Be Triggered by Stress"

Psoriasis is a skin disease but it is not contagious. The name of this skin  disorder comes from the Greek work for "itch." Psoriasis can be hereditary or it  can be the result of allergies (like allergy to foods or chemicals).

...........Sometimes psoriasis may also be triggered through stress. It is estimated that  around 5% of the population suffers from psoriasis and the number is growing.  Psoriasis is more or less a permanent condition. Once a person gets it it's  there for life. If it does go away it won’t be through any treatment but just a  random even triggered by unknown factors.

When a person develops psoriasis, the body starts producing too many skin cells.  This often results in swollen or dry and flaky skin. The skin may also appear  red, itchy, sore, cracked, and tender. The common areas affected by psoriasis  are scalp, hands, stomach, knees, elbows, and feet. It is often found in  combination with dandruff and certain types of arthritis.

UV Photo-Therapy

UV Photo-therapy is producing good results and has satisfied many people through  effective treatment of psoriasis. The only possible side effect is that of  overexposure to UV that might lead to sunburn or even skin cancer.

This is just a possibility though there is no single documented or reported case  of anyone developing skin cancer through the latest Narrow Band UV Photo-therapy  for psoriasis as offered in the Dermalight80 lamp.

The light in solariums and tanning salons is UVA light. The light used in  psoriasis treatment is UVB light so the solarium is not going to treat you. UVB  therapy is much safer than the wide band light that was used earlier and it is  definitely safer than exposure to direct UV exposure from the sun.

Narrow Band UVB

As of now there is no connection between Narrow Band UVB treatment and skin  cancer. Narrow Band UVB phototherapy is targeted and controlled exposure, unlike  sun exposure that is random and all of the UV spectrum.

Dermalight80 is the original and still the best handheld UV Photo-therapy  devices available today. It is reasonably priced and adheres to high medical  standards. The unit is compact and also versatile enough for home use.

Dermalight80 can be used in the treatment of most body part that is affected by  psoriasis. This includes the scalp that may be treated through a unique comb  shaped attachment that is included with every unit. Dermalight80 comes with  standard UVB-Narrow Band 311nm bulbs. You may choose UVA or UVB bulbs with  incurring any extra charges.

Dermalight80 UV lamp is one of the most recommended devices for home use and is  recommended for the treatment of psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and other skin  conditions that can benefit from UV light.
