How does the Excimer Light Therapy work?

Excimer light therapy is a way of producing and delivering ultraviolet light to specific areas of skin that need treatment. The ultraviolet light produced is chosen at a particular wavelength (308nm) that is most effective for treating the skin disorders listed below. Treatment is delivered precisely to a certain location of the body by a portable handheld unit.

How long does the patient need to undergo treatment for?

Treatment usually takes place 2 to 3 times per week until the rash clears or the condition is corrected. Depending on the condition being treated, this may take up to several months.

Commitment to a regular treatment schedule is key to achieving the best possible outcome.

Benefits of using Excimer Light Therapy

Only the affected areas of skin are treated. Non affected skin is spared from the side effects of treatment.
By limiting treatment only to those areas of skin that are affected, a higher dose of light therapy can be delivered compared to full body phototherapy, where the dose is often limited by side effects to non-diseased skin. Doing so may allow more rapid resolution of the skin condition being treated.
Treatment can be delivered directly to areas that are often inadequately covered by full body phototherapy such as the scalp, nose, genital areas, ears and the inner part of the mouth.
It can complement full body phototherapy in the further treatment of stubborn or resistant areas
Portable units are available for use at home. This can greatly improve convenience and lead to better results for people who are unable to receive regular treatment at the clinic because of work or school.

Common risks associated with using this treatment?

Skin redness and dryness is common after treatment. This can often be relieved with a suitable moisturiser.
Blisters, burns and pain from treatment are rare if proper dosage is administered
There is no strong evidence showing long term side effects but may potentially include skin ageing (freckles, pigmentation) and increased risk of skin cancer. Judicious use of phototherapy, diligent sun protection and annual skin check are helpful in minimising these risks.
