How UVB Light Therapy Can Help
What Is Mycosis Fungoides?
Mycosis Fungoides is a chronic and rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that primarily affects the skin. It often manifests as itchy, scaly, and sometimes painful skin lesions, making it a significant source of discomfort for those diagnosed. Managing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for Mycosis Fungoides patients is essential, hence the need for UVB Light Therapy treatment.
UVB light therapy, or Ultraviolet B phototherapy, has emerged as a safe and effective treatment option for Mycosis Fungoides patients. It involves exposing the affected skin to controlled doses of UVB light, which can slow the growth of malignant cells, reduce inflammation, and relieve itching.
We specialise in providing state-of-the-art UVB light therapy machines that are designed for medical use. Our machines meet the highest industry standards for safety and efficacy. Our UVB therapy machines are user-friendly and can be easily operated in the comfort of your home or under medical supervision with self-set timers in place. We provide comprehensive training and support to ensure you get the most out of your therapy.
We believe that access to effective Mycosis Fungoides treatment should not be a financial burden. We offer competitive pricing and financing options to make UVB therapy accessible to all who need it. Our dedicated customer support team is here to assist you every step of the way. We’re committed to your success and well-being.
Phototherapy For Mycosis Fungoides
Take the First Step Towards Relief
Don’t let Mycosis Fungoides control your life. Take charge of your skin health with UVB light therapy from Skin Matters Bristol. It’s time to experience relief from the itching, discomfort, and frustration caused by Mycosis Fungoides. UVB light therapy at home is not only the most comfortable form of curing your skin, but with this UVB narrowband lamp technology, you can expect to see your skin clear up in a matter of weeks, 6-8 weeks is the average time.
Phototherapy using UVB light is rarely used in the UK because of limited availability and the number of hospital visits required (the backlog with the NHS can leave you waiting a long time). By purchasing the lamps and machines yourself, this takes away the struggle of balancing appointments with doctors or experimenting with other methods such as using sunbeds (which are proven to be ineffective at treating skin conditions).
All our UVB light therapy units are manufactured in England and fitted with genuine, Philips brand narrowband lamps. Only Philips UVB lamps are used in hospitals worldwide, so you can be rest assured that you are receiving only the best and professionally proven UVB technology (always check that the unit contains Philips Lamps). The wavelength used by these machines is 311nm, which is commonly known as the therapeutic wavelength for skin condition, and therefore is highly recommended and used by doctors and dermatologists worldwide.
