Until recently, most prevention. funding addressed HIV in an isolated. manner, as a disease independent of. social determinants of health. Hence, a large number of programs have. been developed to focus on individual. risk behaviors.
IPL photofacial, also known as IPL photorejuvenation, is a procedure designed to stimulate and encourage healing and regeneration of the skin through the application of a broad-spectrum light. âIPL,â in fact, stands for âintense pulsed lightâ.
Hospital-based UV treatment uses only the specific part of the spectrum that is useful to treat skin conditions. This is not the case on a sunbed, where a much broader spectrum is used. Many sunbeds use mostly, or entirely, UVA light, which is ineffective for treating psoriasis without the added psoralen. Therefore, using sunbeds means taking on the risks of UV exposure, without much of the benefit to psoriasis.
