Making the switch to home phototherapy
Treating psoriasis with a
home light unit is
an economical, convenient choice. Home light therapy can be quite effective in
controlling psoriasis. Free yourself from psoriasis and decrease your
doctor's visits simultaneously!
Before you buy:
When you get your
home phototherapy equipment:
- Get to know your phototherapy unit and
it's many safety features. Most home units offer key lock switch,
CPT timer, OFF switch, and safety guards.
- Maintain a consistent treatment schedule as
prescribed.
- Follow your doctor's prescription regarding
how long to expose skin
- Use sunscreen, goggles, or clothing to protect sensitive areas and areas not affected by
psoriasis.
- After
treatments, avoid sunbathing as this will intensify effects of phototherapy,
making sunburning more likely.
