After determining the MED on unaffected skin, the psoriatic foci are treated with double to triple MED. Application 2-3 times/week. Usually 4-10 sessions are required to heal a psoriatic plaque.
Undesirable effectsThis section has been translated automatically.
Danger of burns. It should be noted that the skin in the area of the flexion side is to be treated with a lower radiation dose (1-2 times MED), while on the extensor sides 3 times MED is usually well tolerated.
