General description and characteristic of Philips 9W/10/2P bulb.
Ultraviolet (UV) phototherapy, in one form or another, has been used by the medical community since the 1950’s to treat a variety of skin conditions, with the most common being psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema. In the last decade, advancements in medical device technology have made phototherapy treatments even more effective and accessible for these patients, as well as others suffering from more complex conditions. Over the last decade, Narrowband ((UVB (NBUVB) 311-312 nm) has been the clinical standard for treating common dermatologic conditions, but UVA-1 (340-400 nm) advancements have expanded treatment options for a wider group of patients. Unlike UVA (320-400 nm), UVA-1 does not require the use of a combination medication (psoralen), which eases the burden on both the clinic and patient alike.

UVA PHOTOTHERAPY TREATMENT
UVA-1 works by penetrating deeper into the dermis than BBUVB (280-315 nm), NBUVB (311-312 nm) or UVA (320-400 nm), reaching the inflammatory cells that spur many chronic skin conditions. UVA-1 can be used in the treatment of certain autoimmune connective tissue disorders, such as lupus, along with other complex conditions including cutaneous T cell lymphoma, vitiligo, morphea, graft-versus-host disease, and systemic sclerosis. Current research continues to point to additional treatment indications specific to medium to high dose UVA-1 phototherapy and overall effectiveness.

Ultraviolet A light (UVA), one of the components of sunlight, is especially effective for treating psoriasis. During the treatment patients are exposed to the light for just a few seconds at first, and the exposure time is gradually increased to several minutes per treatment.
UVA treatment is sometimes administered with topical treatments such as coal tar, anthralin, or just mineral oil. It has been clinically proved that the UVA light is one of the most effective way to treat psoriasis and many other skin diseases. Both UVA and UVB light is widely used in the hospitals and dermatologic clinics.
RECOMMENDED USAGE OF THE LAMP
We recommend to start irradiation from 20-25 seconds. Distance from lamp to skin should be approximately 4-6 cm. If the skin becomes accustomed to UVA light, you can extend irradiation time up to 2-4 seconds by every session.
It is the best to consult your doctor to determine the most suitable irradiation time and treatment plan for you. Wear UV-block goggles when the lamp is on.
