ALWAYS WEAR THE PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR SUPPLIED WITH THE PSORIASIS PH-36F
SUNLAMP. IT IS MANDATORY TO WEAR THE EYEWEAR BEFORE STARTING THE UNIT.
EXPOSURE SCHEDULE
(Appliance warm up is not required)
A maximum of 1 person may be exposed to the Psoriasis PH-36F Sunlamp
at the same time.
BEFORE STARTING THERAPY, YOU MUST CONSULT A PHYSICIAN REGARDING YOUR SKIN TYPE AND
TO OBTAIN AN INDIVIDUALIZED TREATMENT PLAN.
Skin that is treated must be free of lotions, make-up, deodorant, etc. Males must wear covering
over the genitals while undergoing treatment.
Eye protection in the form of UV goggles (provided) must be worn at all times when the PH-36F Pso-
riasis Sunlamp is powered on.
A low initial exposure time should be used to help prevent burning, and then the dose is gradually
increased in small increments until an adequate response is achieved.
A starting dose of .75 MED
(2 minutes @ 14 inches) to each treatment area can be used.
If pinkening of the skin (slight erythema) occurs from the last treatment, maintain last treatment
time. If reddening or sunburn occurs, stop treatment until reddening dissipates, then start at one
half of the last treatment time.
Frequency of treatment is determined by your prescribing physician until clearing occurs.
Once clearing has occurred to an acceptable degree, gradually reduce the frequency of treatments.
Maintenance therapy typically involves two to three treatments per week. Maintain this schedule
for about 2-3 weeks. If clearing continues, one treatment every 7-10 days may suffice. You may dis-
continue treatment unless flaring occurs or maintain a minimum schedule as determined by your
physician.
If psoriasis begins to return at any stage, revert back to the last treatment schedule. For example, if
flaring begins to occur during once a week maintenance, increase frequency of treatments back to
twice a week for 2-3 weeks or as determined by your physician.
As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye and skin injury and allergic reactions.
Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the skin and skin cancer.
