Treatment of skin
diseases
Millions of people over
the world suffer from
skin disorders such as
Psoriasis and Vitiligo.
These disorders have a
huge impact on the
patients’ daily lives.
However today, these
skin diseases can be
treated. Phototherapy is
an effective and proven
method of treatment.
Philips Phototherapy
lamps have been
developed and tested in
close cooperation with
universities and clinics
around the world.
FDA has cleared Philips
Narrowband phototherapy
lamps for the treatment
of Psoriasis and
Vitiligo and has cleared
Philips Broadband
phototherapy lamps for
the treatment of
Psoriasis
Medical therapy UVA (PUVA)

information
Nowadays the preferred
radiotherapy treatment
of skin diseases like
psoriasis is through the
use of the ‘B’ bandwidth
of the UV spectrum,
since this requires no
photo-sensitizing agent.
But some patients do not
respond to UVB
treatment, hence a UV
lamp with an ‘A’
bandwidth of the UV
spectrum is used, and
here Philips offers a
choice of either a
TL or the more compact
PLS/PLL lamps. Both are
ideal for when the ‘B’
bandwidth of the UV
spectrum is ineffective.
These (PUVA) lamps have
a wavelength of between
315 to 380 nm and are
not only used for the
treatment of psoriasis
but are also commonly
used for more than 20
other diseases

information
More than 400
independent clinical
studies have proven that
the UVB Narrowband TL
lamps are safer and more
effective than any other
lamps in their class.
That is because these
lamps emit only a very
narrow waveband from the
‘B’ bandwidth of the UV
spectrum (290 to 315).
This narrow waveband is
between 305 and 315 nm
and peaks at 311 nm: the
most efficacious
waveband for the
treatment of psoriasis
This means that
treatment is much more
focused and exposure
times are much shorter.
This in turn leads to a
reduction of side
effects such as
reddening of the skin
and itching. All of this
makes them ideal for
phototherapy treatment
of diseases such as
psoriasis and vitiligo.
What’s more, because the
overall dosage of this
narrowband radiation can
be closely controlled,
these lamps are suitable
for home therapy
