Phototherapie a domicile - guide de sèlection du èquipment

For large percentage of affected area, you’ll want a full-body unit such as Panosol^® II or Foldalite^® III.
For patches up to a few square feet, choose a spot unit
If only hands or feet are involved, consider the Hand/Foot II^TM

2. Do you need UVA, UVB, or narrowband UVB lights?

The right wavelength for you will be determined by your doctor. Still, here’s the scoop:

UVA light is used with PUVA, has longer treatment times, and requires more doctor visits to monitor your treatment
UVB light is safer and easier than UVA in many cases. Units cost a bit more, but cost and time savings are seen over time.
Narrow band UVB lights are safest and fastest but may not always be appropriate for your condition. Learn more about narrow band UVB.

3. How many lamps?

Simply put, more bulbs give a higher dosage, so treatment time is quicker. However, your doctor will decide which is best since your condition and skin type will impact this.
