Recently, the dermatology department of 302 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army cured patients with psoriasis with a black light machine (UV-N phototherapy machine), which opened up a new way for the treatment of psoriasis and other skin diseases.

Psoriasis (psoriasis) is a common skin disease. There are many treatments, including oral drugs and topical drugs, and the effect is always unsatisfactory. Li Anxin, deputy chief physician of dermatology, has achieved satisfactory results by using innovative and updated black light machine to treat psoriasis. The ultraviolet spectrum of this machine is composed of UVA70%%, UVB14% and UVC4%%, and the rest is visible light, and its effect is equivalent to the biological effect produced by ultraviolet light. This light radiation system can improve the immune function of the body under certain conditions, and has the functions of diminishing inflammation and inhibiting DNA replication. Studies have shown that the DNA proliferation rate of epidermal cells in patients with psoriasis is 8-20% higher than that in normal people. After irradiation with a black light machine, the abnormal proliferation of epidermal cells is inhibited by inhibiting DNA synthesis in the mucosa, thus achieving the purpose of treatment.

This kind of black light machine can be used for both systemic treatment and local treatment, and satisfactory curative effect can be achieved without using any photosensitive drugs. The effective rate of psoriasis is 100%, and the cure rate is 98%. Most patients can get better after 2-3 times of irradiation and recover after 20-30 times of irradiation. Patients do not feel any discomfort during the treatment, with high curative effect, short course of treatment, economy and convenience.
