- Alma’s manufacturer brochure describes localised psoriasis and vitiligo applications. It identifies a handheld system with a 16 cm² treatment spot.
At Skin Doctors
Assessment of localised psoriasis and vitiligo, with the treatment course prescribed and monitored by the clinician.
What matters when choosing treatment
Alma distinguishes this system from an excimer laser even though both use 308 nm light. It is also different from red or infrared LED. Treatment is prescribed for a diagnosed condition, with response and skin tolerance reviewed during the course.
Your visit, step by step
- Assessment. We review the concern, your history, medications and earlier treatments.
- A personal plan. We discuss suitable options, alternatives, likely recovery and the uncertainty around results.
- Treatment and follow-up. You receive instructions for preparation and aftercare, with progress reviewed before further sessions.
Recovery and possible risks
Redness, dryness, itching, blistering or burns and pigment changes can occur. Eye protection and review of photosensitivity, medications and skin-cancer history are important.
How many sessions will I need?
The diagnosis, treatment area and your response determine the schedule. A manufacturer’s example course is not a promise of the same result or number of sessions for you.
What should I tell the clinician beforehand?
Tell us about medications and supplements, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, implants, recent procedures, infections and previous healing problems. The relevant precautions depend on the device and treatment.
Can I choose this without a consultation?
Please begin with a consultation. Similar-looking concerns can have different causes, and a device’s features do not establish that it is right for you.
