Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflamed skin that produces red, thickened patches covered with silver-colored scales or plaques. Psoriasis commonly occurs on the elbows, knees, scalp, groin, arms, legs, palms, soles of the feet and nails. The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown. Recent discoveries lead scientists to suspect that the condition stems from an immune system disorder. Psoriasis is not contagious. It tends to run in families. Psoriasis commonly appears between the ages of 15 - 35; and often becomes a life-long chronic illness. Patients usually experience alternating periods of flare-ups and remissions. There are several treatment options available for psoriasis - some have side effects, making it essential that patients consult with a physician before and during treatments. Non-prescription lotions, emollients and shampoos can be used. Prescription topical steriods, retinoids and Vitamin D derivatives may clear the skin temporarily and control the condition for some patients. Oral or injected medication can produce dramatic clearing when other treatments have failed, but must be used under the close supervision of a physician due to the risk of side effects. Retinoids may be prescribed alone, or in combination with light therapies for severe cases of psoriasis. Most psoriasis patients benefit from exposure to sunlight, which slows the rapid growth of skin cells and decreases inflammation. Full-body exposure to sunlight or UV-emitting light booths puts healthy skin at risk. For this reason new, targeted light therapies show great promise as a treatment option. The targeted UVB Phototherapy 320 system uses fiber optic delivery to provide the same proven UVB light used in full-body lightbox therapy, but in a much higher intensity, delivered directly to the psoriatic lesion. This higher dosage of light allows for rapid clearance of the psoriatic lesions in fewer treatments than lightbox therapy. Leo targeted UVB Phototherapy 320 treatments are safer because healthy skin is not exposed to UVB light. What happens during a targeted UVB Phototherapy 320 treatment? Most patients feel no discomfort during treatments with targeted UVB Phototherapy 320, and no anesthesia is required. A few patients report a mild, sunburn-like sensation afterward that can last a few days. Patients always use protective eyewear during treatments. They can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. How long does treatment take? Depending on the areas to be treated and the extent of involvement, each targeted UVB Phototherapy 320 treatment session may last as little as a few minutes or up to 30 minutes. Multiple treatments, typically in the range of four to twelve, are required. How successful are the treatments? How long will results last? Each case is unique. Although not all patients will achieve 100% clearance, high clearance rates have been achieved with the targeted UVB Phototherapy 320 In general, patients have reported relief for long periods of time. Remission periods in the range of two to four months are common.
