In case of the entire scalp the
treatment is to take place slowly,
distributed uniformly over the head
and against the direction of hair
growth. The comb attachment
additionally serves here as a hair
divider for reaching the hairy scalp.
The treatment should always be
performed with the comb attachment
mounted.
The treatment should be conducted three to five times weekly. The duration of
the treatments depends on the type and severity of the skin disease. For the
treatment of psoriasis and neurodermatitis, 20-25 sessions are usually sufficient
until the skin symptoms have subsided. Vitiligo treatment can take considerably
longer. If there is no success after 3 months at the latest, contact your treating
physician to clarify a continuation of the treatment.
Therapy monitoring:
Following every treatment session, monitor the treated skin areas for therapeutic
success as well as for possible side effects:
Should you discern side effects like a sun burn or painful change in the diseased
skin, you have to reduce the dose for the next treatment by 40% and you may
only continue with the treatment after the side effects have abated. If in doubt,
consult your attending physician.
Should you discern side effects like a sun burn or painful change in the healthy
skin, make sure to provide better protection for the next treatment like using
sunscreen with a high protection factor or more carefully cover these areas with
textiles.
Should you not experience any successful therapy outcome at all, gradually
increase the dose as described in the tables. If you have reached the maximum
dose according to your skin type and still do not notice any therapeutic effect, the
service life of the UV lamp may be expired (see chapter 14). If in doubt, consult
your attending physician.
