About blue light therapy psoriasis

Types of blue light therapy psoriasis devices

Suppliers offer the following blue light therapy psoriasis equipment.

Blue light therapy lamp

These lamps offer a large treatment area and can be used on exposed skin in less than five minutes. They are often lightweight and portable, which makes them easy to move around.

Blue light therapy bulb

These bulbs can be fitted on normal lamps, allowing for targeted treatment by focusing light on specific body parts. They often treat smaller areas and are convenient for people with mild or localized psoriasis.

Blue light therapy device

These portable devices are designed for targeting small areas of the skin and take about three to four minutes to treat a small area. They are normally compact and rechargeable, which makes them easy for treating specific spots.

Blue light therapy comb

Medical experts recommend this therapy for bald scalp or psoriasis on the face. It takes only one minute to treat the face and three minutes for the scalp.

Commercial use of blue light therapy psoriasis devices

Blue psorias therapy devices are commonly used in clinical settings to provide professional treatment for psoriasis and other skin conditions. Below are some ways these devices are used commercially:

Dermatology clinics

Health experts use blue light therapy devices in their clinics to treat patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. These devices range from lamps to full-body units, which offer effective phototherapy in a controlled environment.

Hospitals

Like dermatology clinics, hospitals with dermatology or dermatopathology departments use blue light therapy in their treatment protocols. These devices are often integrated into their treatment for severe skin conditions.

Establishments with spa and wellness

More spas and wellness centers offer blue light therapy as part of their skin health services due to its benefits for the skin. Although more focused on skin rejuvenation and acne treatments, many spas will also attract clients with psoriasis and eczema.

Commercial medical centers

Community health centers, urgent care centers, and occupational health centers often have phototherapy devices, including blue light therapy for treating various skin conditions. These centers may not specialize in dermatology but offer light therapy as part of their general medical services.

Mobile clinics or telehealth services

With the rise of telehealth, some mobile clinics or telehealth services that focus on skin health may offer blue light therapy devices to patients for at-home use. These devices are often prescribed by a dermatologist through a virtual consultation.

Health and aesthetic features of blue light therapy psoriasis devices

These devices have the following health and aesthetic features.

Clear skin and controlled psoriasis

As the main therapeutic purpose, blue light can help clear plaque and patch skin seen in psoriasis. The light penetrates the skin to reduce inflammation and slow down the excessive skin cell growth that characterizes this condition.

Unlike red light therapy, which is more general and helps the body overall, blue therapeutic light targets the skin directly and is well suited for skin problems.

Acne treatment

Blue light kills the bacteria on the skin responsible for acne breakouts. It clears existing acne and prevents future breakouts, providing an aesthetic benefit of clearer skin. Fewer acne lesions and breakouts give the skin a smoother, clearer appearance.

Anti-aging effects

Some blue light therapy psoriasis devices have anti-aging benefits through skin rejuvenation. The light may stimulate collagen production, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, making the skin look more youthful and healthy.

Even skin tone

Blue light therapy can help reduce hyperpigmentation, scars, and the discoloration that may accompany skin conditions. This leads to a more even skin tone and fewer discolorations or the need for skin concealer.

No harsh side effects

Unlike some topical treatments for psoriasis that may cause irritation, thinning, or other adverse effects, blue light therapy is generally well tolerated. This makes it safe for long-term use without the risk of adverse effects on the skin.

How to choose blue light therapy psoriasis equipment

When choosing blue light therapy devices for sale, buyers should consider the following factors.

Types of bulbs and devices

Blue light therapy psoriasis bulbs are available in different types. Buying a variety helps the buyer meet different customer needs and preferences. For instance, device bulbs provide generalized treatment and may be suitable for targeting large areas, while small handheld devices are more fitting for targeted treatment of small affected areas.

Intensity and wavelength

Stronger intensity and correct wavelengths will provide more effective treatment. Buyers should ensure the devices they are buying have varying intensities and wavelengths to treat different customer needs and preferences.

Safety and certification

Buyers should only buy therapy devices that have dermatologist approval. Also, they should only buy equipment that complies with industry standards and safety regulations. This not only ensures safety but also boosts customers' confidence in the equipment. Buyers should also note that some customers could be turned off by institutions having to recall certain equipment.

Portability and design

Practicality and portability are other factors that buyers should consider. For instance, customers with localized conditions might prefer hand-held devices, while those intending to use the treatment as a service in a clinic or spa would go for devices that can be easily transported.

Instructions and ease of use

To cater to customers with various technical proficiency, buyers should buy devices that have easy-to-use interfaces. More importantly, devices that come with detailed instructions and manuals will cater to customers with different technical skills.

After-sales services

Buyers should look for suppliers that offer warranty coverage and good customer support. This will help them ensure that their customers are catered to in case the equipment has a problem.

Q&A

Q1. Do blue light therapy psoriasis devices have side effects?

A1.

When used properly, blue light therapy psoriasis is generally safe with minimal side effects. The most common side effects are temporary and include skin redness, dryness, and a slight burning or tingling sensation, similar to mild sunburn. There is no risk of sun exposure and skin cancer because the therapy uses a narrow band of blue light.

Q2. How long should customers use blue light therapy devices?

A2.

For moderate conditions, customers should set the device to five minutes for large areas and three minutes for small areas. Those using targeted devices should do a three-minute session two to three times a week. For those using handheld devices, they should aim to spend around three minutes on each affected area during each session.

Q3. How often can customers do blue light therapy?

A3.

For optimal results, customers should do the therapy two to three times weekly. Customers with more severe symptoms can do it more frequently, even daily. However, buyers should ensure that their customers consult a healthcare professional before increasing the frequency or duration of treatment.

Q4. What makes an LED device different from an incandescent light device?

A4.

Incandescent light units use broad spectrums, risking exposure to non-therapeutic heat, whereas LED devices use narrow bands targeting therapeutic ranges. This makes blue LED devices safer than incandescent devices.

Q5. Can people with sensitive skin use blue light therapy?

A5.
