Excimer Laser
Excimer Laser
At DAO Clinic, we offer Excimer Laser Therapy, a highly targeted and effective treatment for chronic skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis.
This advanced 308nm wavelength laser delivers precise ultraviolet light directly to affected areas, helping to reduce inflammation, slow down immune responses, and stimulate repigmentation—all while leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched.
​​​​​
What to Expect (Step-by-Step):
-
Step 1: Consultation – Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin condition and determine if Excimer Laser is the right treatment for your needs. Our dermatologist will explain the procedure and set realistic expectations based on your case.
-
Step 2: Preparation – The treatment area will be cleaned, and protective eyewear will be provided. No numbing is required as the procedure is quick and typically painless.
-
Step 3: Excimer Laser Treatment – The laser handpiece is applied precisely over the affected skin, delivering controlled UVB light. Sessions typically last 10–20 minutes depending on the size and number of treated areas.
-
Step 4: Recovery – There is minimal to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or a warm sensation, which fades within a few hours.
-
Step 5: Results – Most patients begin to see improvement after 4–6 sessions, with optimal results usually achieved after 10–20 sessions, spaced 2–3 times per week.
