Narrowband UVB Phototherapy consists of the exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light which can help regulate the immune system and decrease inflammation in the skin. This can be helpful in treating many skin diseases such as psoriasis, eczema/atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and pruritus (itching of the skin). Narrowband UVB is the latest technology of phototherapy that utilizes a narrow range of wavelengths of light to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. At Lone Star Dermatology, we offer treatments utilizing both a full body unit and individual hand and foot units. | |  |
XTRAC Excimer Laser The XTRAC Excimer laser uses an intense beam of focused light to target only the affected tissue and avoid damage to surrounding healthy skin. It has been approved for the treatment of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis (eczema), and vitiligo. It is ideally suited for patients with localized areas of skin involvement. The advantages it offers over traditional phototherapy are that results can usually be achieved in fewer treatments and you can treat areas such as the scalp that are shielded by hair during traditional phototherapy.
