PHAROS Excimer Laser

NEW AT DERMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES OF KNOXVILLE!!!

Painless Laser Therapy Gives New Hope to Sufferers of Embarrassing Skin Diseases

 For the first time in their lives, patients who suffer from some of the most frustrating and embarrassing skin diseases including psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis have real hope for effectively, conveniently, and painlessly treating their conditions. 

 Here in Knoxville, Dermatology Associates of Knoxville, PC is proud to be the first physician office to offer the PHAROS excimer laser, a gentle and painless phototherapy laser shown to be effective in treating these difficult-to-treat conditions. 

 The PHAROS excimer laser is different from cosmetic lasers that are usually associated with pain during treatment and post-treatment downtime for the patient.  Instead, the PHAROS delivers a highly energetic but painless beam of UVB light directly to the psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis patches through a handpiece that rests directly on the patient’s skin.  It features the most advanced optical technology on the market, including an adjustable spot size and guiding aiming beam, to precisely target only the affected skin and spare the surrounding healthy tissue from exposure.  There is no downtime for the patients.

  The PHAROS excimer laser is changing the way patients manage their vitiligo and is helping them achieve rapid repigmentation. Patients come in twice each week for an average of 6 weeks, and each quick treatment session that usually takes only 5-10 minutes.
