Phototherapy / Excimer Laser – For Psoriasis & Vitiligo Treatment
Phototherapy and Excimer Laser therapy are modern, effective treatment options for managing chronic skin conditions like Psoriasis and Vitiligo. At Sri Raju Heart & Skin Hospital, we offer both these advanced technologies to provide targeted, safe, and results-oriented care.
Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to controlled amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light, especially narrowband UVB, which slows the rapid growth of skin cells seen in psoriasis and helps in re-pigmentation for vitiligo. This treatment is painless, non-invasive, and often combined with topical therapies for enhanced results. Sessions are short and scheduled multiple times a week, depending on the severity of the condition.
Excimer Laser Therapy is a more focused approach using a high-intensity 308 nm UVB light, ideal for localised patches. It delivers controlled UV energy directly to the affected areas without harming the surrounding healthy skin. This makes it highly effective for small, resistant plaques of psoriasis or localised vitiligo, especially on areas like the face, hands, or knees.
These treatments are especially useful when topical creams fail or when large skin areas are affected. Patients usually start noticing improvement in skin tone, reduced scaling, and fewer flare-ups after a few sessions.
Both therapies are administered under expert supervision, ensuring maximum safety and minimal side effects. We tailor each treatment plan to the individual's skin type, condition, and response to therapy. At Sri Raju Hospital, we’re committed to offering world-class dermatological care that helps patients regain skin confidence.
