The device is intended for targeted phototherapy of UVB‑responsive skin conditions such as psoriasis and vitiligo and may be used for other dermatologic conditions that respond to 308nm excimer therapy. Treatment plans and suitability should be determined by a qualified dermatologist.
The 308nm excimer delivers targeted narrowband UVB light to affected skin areas. This can reduce local inflammation and, in the case of vitiligo, stimulate repigmentation. Clinical response varies by condition, lesion size, skin type and treatment regimen.
The product description lists both home and clinical use. However, it should only be used at home under the instruction and follow‑up of a healthcare professional. A physician should prescribe the treatment parameters and monitor progress and side effects.
The treatment window covers 22 cm² (approximately 4.7 cm x 4.7 cm) with a radiation intensity of 32 mW/cm² and a peak emission wavelength of 308 nm. The device operates in continuous mode.
Treatment duration and frequency depend on the prescribed dose, skin type and condition severity. Sessions can range from seconds to minutes per spot. Always follow the dosing schedule provided by your treating clinician or the user manual.
Common temporary effects include redness, mild burning, itching, or peeling at the treated site. Less common effects can include blistering, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. If you experience severe pain, blistering, signs of infection or other concerning reactions, stop treatment and contact your physician.
People with known photosensitivity disorders, those taking photosensitizing medication, individuals with a history of skin cancer in the treatment area, or anyone with active skin infections should avoid use unless cleared by a physician. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should consult their healthcare provider before use.
