Establishing a treatment program
Phototherapy treatment is different for each person. Any phototherapy program
should be considered a guide and may need to be adjusted on an individual basis
or in consultation with your health care professional. Dermaray Laser however,
generally automates this process for you and uses proprietary methodology based
on established best practices. There are many variables including but not limited to
the following that are considered;
Patient skin type
Disease being treated
Areas requiring treatment
Once programmed, Dermaray Laser will intelligently suggest a starting exposure
time for your individual condition (based on the information above) and create an
entire treatment program specifically for you. This treatment program will be
automatically managed and increase at a rate suitable for your skin type and
condition, to a maximum exposure level, also appropriate for your situation.
Once the suggest treatment program is completed and your maximum exposure
reached, a less frequent maintenance program will then be suggested and used for
all further treatments.
WARNING:
Dermaray Laser is incapable of determining your suitability for
phototherapy, your medical background and assessing any adverse reactions to
treatment that you may experience. Therefore, common sense must always prevail
and you, or a doctor, must monitor your individual condition and results of each
treatment session.
Using the Laser Comb
Dermaray Laser should be held against the treatment area and moved slowly
around the surface for the allocated time. For stubborn areas Dermaray Laser can
he held on one place for several minutes or for the duration of treatment if required.
Moving Dermaray Laser too quickly may result in a warning alert and deactivation of
the lasers.
