In recent times, increasingly in the treatment of skin diseases is the use of medium wave ultraviolet radiation of a narrow range of 311 nm, or another name of this method - phototherapy narrow range 311 nm (UVB 311 nm).
This radiation has the apparatus Dermalayt (Dermalight 80) which we present to your attention.
Phototherapy narrow range of 311 nm causes fewer side effects than PUVA therapy and selective phototherapy (red skin, itchy skin, a violation of pigmentation).
When phototherapy narrow range of 311 nm using a low dose of ultraviolet radiation, so the risk of neoplasms of the skin is reduced to a minimum.
No admission fotosensebilizatorov, and as a result - the treatment is postponed it is very easy.
Studies have shown a significantly higher efficiency of UVB 311 compared with selective phototherapy.
Abroad, phototherapy narrow spetra 311 nm almost completely replaced the selective phototherapy.
Effectiveness:
This technique is one of the most effective in treating psoriasis, slightly yielding to PUVA therapy. The comparison of safety and efficacy of therapy - UVB 311 nm is unparalleled.
Mechanism of Action:
In psoriasis UVB 311 nm has immunoregulyatornoe effect, normalizing the balance of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors in the affected skin. In this, as in the treatment method of PUVA therapy, hampered by excessive division of cells. Rash gradually pale, becoming less dense, no peeling. This occurs by reducing the number of cellular elements in the pockets of psoriasis. It also notes the willingness expressed by protivozudnoe operation.
Indications:
Psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, a red flat lichen, nest alopecia, itchy skin, limfomatoidny papulez, chronic urticaria, ring-shaped granuloma, prurigo, lichen Zhiber pink, heavy seboreyny dermatitis, scleroderma, mild T-cell lymphomas of skin (TKLK) fotodermatoz , eczema and other skin diseases.
Contraindications:
Melanoma or a history of skin cancer, skin diseases in violation of the mechanisms of DNA recovery and risk of development of tumors (pigment kseroderma, Bloom syndrome, a syndrome family displasticheskogo nevi seem) disease, which has deteriorated over the effects of ultraviolet radiation with (lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroiditis), diseases of the eye (cataract, lack of lens).
Adverse effects:
Early side effects:
Since treatment without any admission fotosensebilizatorov, side effects are minimal and relate only to the action of ultraviolet radiation - itchy skin, dry skin, redness and burns the skin (if too high doses of UV-rays). To prevent the need to correctly determine the skin phototype, to adjust your dose of ultra-violet rays.
Remote side effects:
Associated with long-term effect of ultraviolet radiation (at sverhdlitelnom, frequent use of 311 nm UVB phototherapy for many years), and disregard of protective measures (glasses, sunscreen, protective treatment) - the symptoms of aging skin. Numerous domestic and foreign research development of skin neoplasms is not proven.
