Skin Care Treatment Westchester County | |
We have offered phototherapy as a treatment for psoriasis and other skin conditions for over 30 years. We currently treat patients with a fully computerized state-of-the-art Daavlin Narrow-band UVB phototherapy unit. Hand and foot psoriasis and eczema are treated with a dedicated Narrow-band UVB hand and foot unit. Patients generally receive 2-3 treatments per week. The session consists of the patient applying mineral oil and then exposing the skin to the narrowband UVB light inside the unit, while shielding the eyes, face, and genital area. Improvement is usually noted after several weeks to months of treatment, patients then go onto a maintenance schedule of decreasing frequency of treatments. Another option we offer is the XTRAC laser which uses a focused beam of Narrow band UVB to target lesions that are hard to reach with standard UVB or topical therapies. The main risk of all types of phototherapy is the potential for redness and tenderness of the skin, which we try to avoid by carefully monitoring the dosing and the patient´s response at each visit while increasing the light dose in defined increments according to a well-established protocol to achieve clearing or significant improvement. | |
