Phototherapy

The skin is the largest organ of the body, and it dynamically responds to different wavelengths of light. Many common skin conditions such as eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, vitiligo, and some types of alopecia can be successfully treated or controlled with light treatments. Knowledge of the photo-biological interactions between the many types of light and skin conditions allows dermatologists to treat these conditions non-invasively, while avoiding the side effects and interactions of many traditional medications.

We have a number of phototherapy units at Kessel Dermatology, and make light treatments of all types fast, convenient, and readily accessible for all our patients. Many patients visit the office regularly and complete their treatments within less than fifteen minutes.

We offer the follow types of phototherapeutic services at Kessel Dermatology:

Narrowband Ultraviolet B Therapy (NbUVB)
Laser Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Psoralen with UVA (PUVA)

First time using Kessel Dermatology the other day, and I can not say enough good things about the practice. From the ease of getting an appointment, to the polite and professional office staff and the very gentle and professional Dr. Freedman...I would use them again in a heartbeat!

I saw both Jennifer and Savy. They were very professional but warm, made me feel very comfortable. I knew I was in good hands!

Savy is the best, she is treating both of us when needed for the last five years. Very Very Friendly and Very Very Caring. On top of that my wife feels at home when we visit because she can speak with Savy in Greek. Best wishes, George and Vassiliki.

"My wife and I have been seeing Elena Applebaum here for a few years. She is always very thorough, listens well, and seems to genuinely care about her patients. One of my friends sees Jennifer and adores her as well. Highly recommended!"

"Doctor is extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly familiar with your file. Treatment is appropriate and conservative - takes lots of time to explain treatment options. Staff is friendly and professional. Facility is well appointed and clean. I have been going to Dr. Kessel since the 1970's - he's the best!"

"This is a wonderful practice. They don't keep you waiting for long periods like some other practices in the area. Friendly staff and very knowledgeable practitioners are supported by helpful people in the back office. So happy that we made the switch a few years ago to Kessel. I have recommended this office to friends and family and will continue to do so."
