If you experience the following symptoms:
- Intensely itchy or burning rash
- Dry, red patches of skin that appear scaly, crusty, or
bubbly
- Painful cracks appearing in the skin
…you are not alone!
More than 15 million Americans suffer from these painful and
uncomfortable symptoms. If you are seeking eczema relief from the
physical and emotional trauma this skin condition causes, talk to your
doctor about treating eczema with safe and effective phototherapy treatments available at your dermatologist’s office or in the comfort and
privacy of your own home.
What Causes Eczema?
Similar to psoriasis, your immune system may play a role.
Scientists have not been able to determine the exact cause, but they think it may be an abnormal response of your body's
immune system perhaps due to an allergic tendency or an overactive
inflammatory response.
The term "eczema" generally includes many different types of
inflamed skin conditions including atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis, and contact dermatitis. The term ‘atopic’ means you experience an allergic
response to irritating substances.
Eczema is generally a lifelong condition, and you may experience
flare-ups from time to time. Many people who have this skin condition also suffer
from allergies or hay fever, or have members in their families who
do.
Is There Eczema Treatment Available?
With proper use, phototherapy (also referred to as light box therapy) is one of the most common and successful methods for treating eczema and gaining relief, without the side effects of drugs or steroids. Doctors
may suggest either UVA (Ultraviolet A) light combined with the drug
psoralen, or UVB (Ultraviolet B) when prescribing phototherapy
treatment. If your skin condition is severe, (NbUVB) narrowband UVB phototherapy is also available.
The UVB light produced by UVBioTek’s phototherapy equipment provides an eczema treatment either at your dermatologist’s office, or in the
privacy of your own home and can be used for different types of this skin condition including facial flare-ups. In addition, home UVB light treatment eliminates the significant risk of adverse side effects from the use
of psoralen.
Your doctor will generally prescribe home UVB treatment for treating eczema in short,
non-burning sessions that are typically administered every other
day. For sufferers such as yourself who are looking for relief, having a home
phototherapy unit to treat frequent flare-ups can immediately
improve the quality of your life. You gain convenient access to
treatment as soon as there is an onset of symptoms, and keep control
of your busy schedule without having to worry about multiple trips
to the doctor’s office!
Most insurance companies will cover the cost of a UVBioTek™ Home
Phototherapy System. Talk to your doctor today about the advantages
of home UVB treatments, and discover for yourself a whole new way to
gain eczema relief and take back control over your schedule – and
your life!
