Log inPsoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and other autoimmune diseases or inflammatory skin diseases can be treated effectively with intense UV radiation. In case of onychomycosis, laser systems can often provide permanent relief in only one treatment cycle.
UV radiation has an immune modeling effect and is thus used in dermatology for the treatment of autoimmune diseases of the skin such as psoriasis and vitiligo. The selected external stimulation of the skin with UV radiation can reduce inflammations and achieve a normalization of pathologically changed cellular activity.
Additionally, laser can treat various fungi, the main cause of onychomycosis. The laser energy penetrates the body of the nail and destroys the fungi residing beneath the nail. The nail can grow healthily again.
Indications for the light therapy
Quantel Derma offers lasers and light-based systems for therapy of light-sensitive skin diseases such as
- psoriasis, especially persistent and localized lesions on elbows, knees or fingernails
- persistent vitiligo
- atopic eczema, atopic dermatitis

- alopecia areata
- mycosis fungoides
- onychomycosis and much more
Light therapy: Targeted and gentle
There are different laser and light-based systems available for the treatment of various light-sensitive diseases of the skin and the nails.
In UV light therapy of psoriasis, vitiligo & co., the affected areas are targeted selectively. Quantel Derma’s handy systems directly treat the lesions, spare the healthy skin and are therefore especially suitable for defined areas such as persistent plaques on elbows or knees. The radiation can be modified according to the indications, lesions and patients, and can thus be applied in much higher doses than in UV cabins. This improves the success of the therapy and reduces treatment time and the number of required sessions. Side effects such as slight erythema similar to a sunburn and slight hyper-pigmentation are minimal and do not last long.
During the treatment of onychomycosis, the laser energy penetrates the body of the nail and heats up the fungi residing beneath it. The warmth devitalizes the fungi or inhibits their growth considerably, and activates healing processes of the nail. The nail can grow healthily again. This treatment has no side effects, is very well tolerated and often eliminates onychomycosis in only one treatment cycle.
Clinical proven effectiveness on psoriasis and vitiligo
The symptoms of psoriasis can disappear for a very long time – partially or even completely. The UV radiation reduces the sizes of the affected areas, inflammations, redness and squamation.
On vitiligo patients, the light therapy stimulates the remaining melanocytes, encouraging a re-pigmentation of the white spots. Thus, the spots adapt step by step to the surrounding skin.
