How 308nm Excimer Laser is performed
This therapy uses a 308 nm excimer laser to target lesions, commonly used for localized or small-area lesions. The condition and photosensitivity are usually assessed first, and a minimal erythema dose test is performed if necessary. During treatment, the light spot accurately covers the lesion, the energy is gradually adjusted, and eye and skin protection are provided to avoid normal skin as much as possible. The operation is performed in outpatient visits in multiple sessions, with intervals determined by the skin reaction. Postoperative observation includes reactions such as erythema and burning, with the goal of activating melanocytes and promoting repigmentation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital plan.
