The Pulsed UVB to treat leukoderma and restore lost pigment, including vitiligo, as well as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema) and seborrheic dermatitis.
Like traditional UV phototherapy, competitive broadband UVB light sources require patients to expose both affected and healthy tissue to ultraviolet light. Pulsed UVB technology targets only the affected area, which minimizes the risk of injury to surrounding tissue.
And unlike narrowband 308-nm excimer lasers, Harmony’s Pulsed UVB output is 40 x 16 mm, shortening treatments to just a few minutes.
Harmony’s pulsed UVB therapy offers psoriasis sufferers an alternative that:
- Involves no pharmaceuticals
- Treats only the affected areas
- Takes only minutes
- Provides relief in fewer sessions than traditional UV phototherapy
Psoriasis
Light-based technology that clears psoriatic skin lesions, emitting UVB light. Compared to conventional phototherapy, the psoriatic lesions can be precisely treated with significantly higher doses of light. This results in fewer treatment sessions for disease clearance and eliminates exposure of healthy skin. The abnormal mass of small blood vessels that grow in psoriasis lesions is destroyed. The pulsed UVB clears psoriatic lesions by selectively destroying blood vessels responsible for skin inflammation from the inside out, without damaging the surrounding skin.
Eczema and seborrheic dermatitis
For both of these conditions, an intense-pulsed UVB light can be delivered to the skin at higher doses than conventional UVB phototherapy. Only the affected skin areas are treated, sparing the surrounding normal skin. Results using the intense-pulsed UVB light can be seen in fewer treatment sessions than with UVB phototherapy.
Vitiligo and hypopigmentation
In a study of the Pulsed UVB light 82% of 11 vitiligo patches that received 8 treatments showed some repigmentation. In other studies, of the pulsed UVB light source, partially repigmented white scars that developed following surgical procedures as well as laser resurfacing. Prior to these methods, there was no known treatment to repigment skin.
