By Dr. Niorn Boonpuean

For those facing chronic skin conditions that impact their quality of life, such as Vitiligo and Psoriasis, or Atopic Dermatitis there is now another modern treatment option: Excimer Light Therapy Excimer Light This is a technology that Lallalita Clinic has adopted for effective treatment, in addition to topical and oral medications.

What is Excimer?

Excimer is an innovative phototherapy that uses a specific wavelength of short-wave ultraviolet B (UVB) light at 308 nanometers. This is considered the most effective wavelength for rebalancing the skin's immune system and precisely reducing inflammation in the affected areas without impacting the surrounding healthy skin.

How It Works: The light works by inhibiting the overactive immune cells in the affected skin, which is the primary cause of the condition, such as the abnormal pigment production in vitiligo or the rapid skin cell division in psoriasis.
