UVTargeted UVB/Nb UVB Phtotherapy
Daavlin targeted Phototherapy has been imported from the U.S.A for the treatment of localised Psoriasis , Vitiligo / Leucoderma and other phototherapy treatable conditions.
The Lumera targeted system delivers exceptional comfort, ease of use and shorter exposure. It is a metal halide UVB energy delivery system for precise and safe phototherapy of psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic eczema.The Fiber optic delivery system can also treat lesions which are in the scalp without the need for the patient to shave the head.
It’s a boon for patients who have localized vitiligo or leucodermatous patch and want a faster recovery from the condition. Compared to conventional phototherapy which requires a regular weekly thrice visit to the clinic for 6 – 8 months, Lumera is done only 4 - 8 times a month for 2 – 3 months reducing the number of visits to the clinic and delivering a quicker and faster cure of the condition. for patients.
When lumera was introduced in 2009 at our clinic, it was one of the first machine of its kind in South India ( Kerala , Tamilnadu , Karnataka) It changed the way how vitiligo was treated at our clinic. Patients who could not come for thrice weekly therapy for phototherapy because of the travel and expense where happy to get treated by Lumera which shortened their visits and cost by 60 – 70%.
Patients who come to S.P.Derma Center come from as far as 350 – 400 km to get treated by Lumera, a weekly once visit is more than sufficient for a period of 4 -6 months to give complete repigmentation in vitiligo.
