Body-Capable Phototherapy Device
Abstract
Phototherapy is used to reduce inflammation in the skin, increase cellular activity and reduce hyperpigmentation (excessive coloration) in the skin.Phototherapy (light therapy) is a preferred method of treating various health problems using a light source.
In this study, it was aimed to create a wearable form different from the usual forms of phototherapy, especially with its use on skin diseases. Phototherapy for the treatment of skin diseases is mainly used for psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, etc. it is used in the treatment of diseases. Phototherapy devices of different wavelengths and types have long been used in the treatment of dermatological diseases.
Broadband ultraviolet B (UVB), narrowband ultraviolet B (dbUVB), ultraviolet A1 (UVA1), Psoralen-ultraviolet A (PUVA) (Psoralen+UVA) and 308 nm excimer laser are among the preferred phototherapy options in dermatology.
