Using your Philips BlueControl
Treatment schedule
Always stick to the recommended treatment
schedule. Do not treat each plaque more than
once a day.
The Philips BlueControl has been designed for daily
use on psoriasis vulgaris plaques. We recommend
treating single, non-overlapping psoriasis vulgaris
plaques only once a day. A single treatment takes
approximately 30 minutes, but can be extended to
40 minutes depending on your skin sensitivity and
possible treatment pauses during treatment.
For example, if the infrared sensor senses a too high
skin temperature, the treatment is briefly paused for
safety reasons. Treatment resumes automatically when
the skin has cooled down. Following this treatment
advice ensures that you do not exceed the daily light
dose of 90 J/cm² per plaque. Blue light treatment can
be combined with vitamin D creams. Apply the cream
after the treatment. For other combination treatments
with blue light, please consult your doctor.
We do not recommend using topical medication,
creams or lotions immediately before and during
treatment with the Philips BlueControl. In case of
unpleasant effects such as excessive, non-resolving skin
redness, worsening of plaques or pain,
stop the therapy immediately and consult your doctor
if necessary. It is possible that you experience slight
tanning of the area treated. This should diminish within
a few days after the therapy has been stopped.
A temporary increased redness of the treated area
after treatment is normal but should also diminish.
