Information about Philips PL-S 9W/01/2P 311nm bulb

More than 400 independent clinical studies have proven that the UVB Narrowband PL-L/PL-s lamps are safer and more effective than any other lamp in their class. The PL-L/PL-S versions provide additional design   freedom for system manufacturers since these are space-saving compact, single-ended lamps. Further flexibility is assured since they use the same lamp caps as general lighting lamps, they also use the same uniwersal ballasts. Their base-in-class treatment effectiveness is a result of their very narrow waveband emission: netween 305 and 315 nm with a peak at 311 nm. This is the most effective wavebank for the treatment of psoriasis, and is therefore much more focused. As a result, exposure times are much shorter and this in turn leads to a reduction of side effects such as reddening of the ski and itching. All of this makes them ideal for phototherapy treatment of diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo.

Philips UVB 311nm bulbs are widely used in the hospitals and clinics. Now, you can use them at your home!

TESTER MED helps to determine the best irradiation time for you.

Irradiation should continue for 30 seconds by placing a tester directly on skin (on arm or leg). On the next day the skin surface color will change. If you have 2 spots on your skin in a place of the biggest holes of a tester (after 30 seconds of irradiation). It means that irradiation should be shorter than 30 seconds. If you have 5 spots on skin after 30 seconds of irradiation, then you should shorten irradiation time to 20 seconds, for example. In case you do not have any spots on your skin, then you should extend irradiation time to 1 minute, for example. As everyone has different skin and hair color, the irradiation effect can be different, so it is better to start irradiation from 15 t o 20 seconds. If the skin accustoms to irradiation, you will be able to extend irradiation time under doctor's color.

Phototherapy (or light therapy) is available to person who in normal contact with the sun will experience worsening of psoriasis. This is due to the fact that in the case of dermatological exposures UV radiation are selected. UVB exposure is significantly safer than UVA. Therefore, it can be successfully used by pregnant women, children or people with serious liver disease or cataractas. Phototherapy for psoriasis involves regular exposing the affected area to the ultraviolet radiation. UVB radiation is absorbed mainly by skin, so that it is possible to eliminate symptoms of psoriasis. Phototherapy can be used both to larger areas of the body, as well as on the specified skin location. (eg: hand,head and face). The treatment is generally well tolerated and safe for patients. 85% of patients with psoriasis respond to UVB, and they constitute the largest group subjected to phototherapy. UVB therapy should be consulted with a dermatologist.

In long-term treatments of diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis or vitiligo, the quality of the therapeutic equipment is of crucial importance. You always have to choose the right size of the lamp for your individual changes. It is especially important to develop a habit of discipline in the patient so that the therapy can be continued without interruption. Excellent healing results can be obtained under optimal conditions. Light therapy has a natural origin. Sunlight, full of energy, has long been effective in treating a large number of skin diseases. By using the right doses of rays and with the right duration of therapy, the appearance of the skin can be improved until it is free from pathological changes. At-home radiotherapy systems are manufactured according to the same strict criteria that are used in the production of equipment for professional offices and hospitals. Therapy at home significantly relieves the patient from the necessary visits to the doctor's office.
