The Lumera Phototherapy System is the most innovative system for the treatment of scalp psoriasis. It offers the benefit of safe and effective UVB phototherapy to areas of the body that are covered with hair and where conventional phototherapy is very hard to apply.

The device has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis (eczema), seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff), and leucoderma (stretch marks).

Our patented Lumera Brush delivers UVB light directly to the scalp, providing optimal therapy to affected areas while reducing exposure to face, ears, and neck. The System, with the Lumera Beam attachment, can apply targeted treatment to any body surface, with minimal exposure to unaffected skin.

Lumera UV-B Light Source
  The Lumera Light Source emits the therapeutic UVB light that powers the Lumera Brush and the Lumera Beam. Advanced optical technology filters the energy generated by a proprietary UVB enhanced lamp and emits light in the therapeutic UVB band (290 to 320 nanometers). A light guide is used to transmit the light to the LiteBrush™ and SpotLite™. A Timer and an Output Level Knob control the energy dose delivered. The UVB Light Source has a START/STOP Switch for activation of the light beam. Activation can also be controlled remotely with a Foot Switch.

A Light Guide is a flexible light conduit that offers easy and flexible handling of the delivery handpieces.
 
Lumera Brush
 
  The Lumera Brush has been designed to deliver UVB light energy to the scalp. Hair (that in most cases covers the scalp) absorbs light and acts as a barrier to phototherapy provided by conventional methods. The Lumera Brush allows delivery of light directly onto the scalp, bypassing the hair barrier. The light is conducted to the scalp through the hair by optical fibers arranged in the pattern of a hairbrush. The optical fiber array produces a 20X50 mm (0.8X2.0 inches) light emitting profile. The Fiberoptic Bristles guide the light between the hair and the Fiberoptic Tips spread the light over and around the contact point delivering it directly onto affected skin.
 
Lumera Beam
 
  The Lumera Beam provides localized treatment of skin lesions when the affected skin is not covered with hair. Its output profile allows delivery of phototherapy in small areas that can be placed next to each other, and spares the border areas from double exposure. A set of output patterns optimize delivery for the shape of the affected area. Its lightweight and compact design makes handling easy and comfortable. The maximum spot size of the Lumera Beam has an area of 3 square centimeters.
 
Accessories
 
  UV-block Goggles are included with each Lumera System for eye protection. Ultraviolet radiation is harmful to the eyes and eye protection is necessary during treatment (every person present in the treatment room must wear UV-block Goggles while the Lumera System is activated, whether for calibration, radiometric testing or treatment). Additional goggles can be ordered from Lerner Medical by contacting sales or customer service departments. 

The protective eyewear provided with wrap-around shields meets the ANSI Z87.1-2003 standard and blocks 99.9% of UVB wavelengths 180-380 nm. If other eyewear is used, it must meet the same standard.

The Lumera Meter measures UVB output for calculation of treatment times.
