Pallas UVB laser therapy
At Advanced Dermatology, P.C., we are dedicated to providing our patients with the most advanced interventions for skin conditions, including targeted laser treatments.
Pallas UVB Laser Therapy is an innovative, FDA-cleared technology that delivers targeted ultraviolet B (UVB) light to treat specific skin disorders. This highly specialized therapy is designed to help patients achieve clearer skin, faster results, and improved quality of life under the guidance of our experienced dermatology team.
What is Pallas UVB laser therapy?
The Pallas UVB laser is an advanced targeted phototherapy system used to treat inflammatory skin conditions with precision and effectiveness. Utilizing narrowband UVB technology, the Pallas laser delivers focused ultraviolet light directly to affected areas while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin.
This treatment is commonly used for conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema, and other localized inflammatory dermatoses. The targeted nature of the Pallas UVB laser enables higher therapeutic doses to be delivered safely, often resulting in faster improvement than with traditional full-body phototherapy.
Pallas UVB laser therapy is non-invasive, well-tolerated, and typically requires minimal downtime. Treatment plans are customized based on the patient’s condition, skin type, and response to therapy, and are performed under the supervision of our dermatology specialists.
Our practice offers Pallas UVB laser therapy as part of a comprehensive approach to managing chronic skin conditions and improving long-term skin health.
Narrowband UVB technology explained
Pallas UVB Laser Therapy uses narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) light, which is a precise wavelength of ultraviolet light (around 308 nm) proven to be highly effective in treating a variety of inflammatory skin diseases. Unlike traditional UVB light sources, narrowband technology focuses on the most therapeutic range of UVB, minimizing unnecessary exposure and reducing the risk of side effects.
Targeted treatment vs. full-body phototherapy
Traditional full-body phototherapy treats the entire skin surface, whereas Pallas UVB Laser Therapy allows us to focus on only the affected areas. This targeted approach means healthy skin is spared unnecessary UV exposure, and higher doses can be delivered directly to problem areas for better, faster results.
Precision and safety benefits
With its advanced handpiece, Pallas UVB Laser Therapy can precisely treat even the smallest or hardest-to-reach patches of affected skin. The treatment is safe, non-invasive, and performed by our board-certified dermatologists, ensuring the highest standards of care and safety for every patient.
