Daavlin
products solve the problems of over-exposure to ultraviolet
light by maximizing the delivery of narrow-band UVB radiation
(in the 311-312nm range, the most beneficial component of
natural sunlight) while minimizing exposure to superfluous
UV. This allows patients to receive photo therapy treatments
with less risk of severe burning or pathogenic exposure
to more harmful wide band radiation ranges. UVB narrow-band
also avoids the adverse side effects of the psoralen drugs
used in conventional PUVA therapy, since UVB treatment requires
no supplemental drugs.
Narrow Band UVB
light is at a wavelength of 311nm, most other products emit
the older, more dangerous radiation in the wide band spectrum.
Narrow band UVB is much safer than full spectrum UVB, and
the output is reduced by well over 97%. Narrow band UVB
is the exact wavelength that vitiligo responds to best.
Why bombard your skin with unneeded light radiation? If
you imagine sun exposure to natural sunlight is equal to
100% UV radiation exposure, using a narrow band UV light
is roughly 1% UV radiation exposure (powerful and targeted
treatment).
