Targeted light. Visible healing.
Excimer phototherapy is a targeted form of UVB phototherapy that uses a laser to emit a specific wavelength of ultraviolet B (UVB) light (308 nm) to treat localized skin conditions. It is primarily used for conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema, offering a more precise and targeted approach compared to traditional phototherapy.
Compared to traditional phototherapy, Excimer targeted phototherapy is known for its accuracy, shorter treatment courses, and potential for fewer side effects
The Derm Centre has one of the latest, advanced excimer phototherapy which suffices once a week treatment, unlike the usual thrice weekly regimen.
A 308 nm excimer laser delivers UVB light to affected areas, reducing inflammation and stimulating pigment production.
Painless. A few minutes per session. Multiple sessions per week for several weeks.
Benefits: Targets only affected skin; effective for small patches.
Risks: Redness, irritation, or rare blistering.
No downtime. Gradual repigmentation or flake reduction seen with ongoing sessions.
If blisters, burns, or excessive redness occur.
Yes. Since only small areas are treated, it’s safer than full-body UV therapy.
Varies. Most patients see visible changes after 6–10 sessions.
Mild redness or dryness may occur. It’s well tolerated.
