Phototherapy Unit

Our department is the first university clinic in Turkey to use phototherapy in skin conditions. Phototherapy, which is used in the treatment of several skin diseases, particularly psoriasis, vitiligo, mycosis fungoides, polymorph light eruption and pityriasis lichenoides is practiced with ultraviolet lamps which can generate the therapeutic wavelengths of sunlight (UVA and UVB). Cabins which can emit whole-body UVA, narrow-band UVB and wide-band UVB; local UVA and local UVB devices which emit to a specific region of the body as well as hair comb that emits narrow-band UVB to skin with hair are available in the unit. Furthermore, micro phototherapy device used for local application has also been introduced.
