October is also recognised worldwide as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an important time to remind patients, clinicians, and wellness-partners that skin health matters, not only for common dermatologic conditions but in the context of systemic disease, treatment side‐effects and quality of life. Recent coverage from the World Health Organization highlights that early detection and timely treatment of breast cancer save lives—but comprehensive care also includes management of skin and tissue health.
Women undergoing breast-cancer treatment may experience dermatologic side-effects such as radiation-induced dermatitis, photo-sensitivity, or skin dryness. Devices designed for general dermatologic care—such as NB-UVB phototherapy or LED blue-red treatments—may help alleviate some of these challenges under clinical supervision. At Diosole Medical, our at-home and clinic-grade devices can support skin-health maintenance during and after oncology care, provided that usage is approved by a treating physician.
Even for non-oncology patients, skin conditions like vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema remain a significant quality-of-life issue. When skin appearance, texture and comfort are improved, patients often report better psychosocial outcomes, improved adherence to general health-regimens, and a stronger sense of wellbeing—important in any health-care pathway.
Our home-use NB-UVB lamps support vitiligo and psoriasis patients in maintaining treatment continuity between clinic visits.
The 308 nm LED portable pen and hammer models allow flexible treatment scheduling—especially valuable when patients must manage other health appointments or travel.
Our LED PDT devices (red/yellow/blue/green combinations) support skin rejuvenation and surface condition improvement, often complementing other therapies.
Dermoscope and skin-magnification devices allow remote or in-clinic early-warning detection of changes, which is especially relevant in patients with a history of cancer or radiation-therapy exposure.
In line with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Diosole Medical is launching a dedicated “Skin & Light Care” campaign throughout October:
A downloadable PDF titledSkin Care During and After Oncology Treatment: A Guide for Patientswill be available in our Media & Events section.
Short video interviews with dermatologists will cover topics such as “Managing radiation-dermatitis: When to seek phototherapy support” and “At-home LED devices: What patients need to know”.
A promotional offer for our home-use phototherapy range (NB-UVB & LED portable devices) is open to clinics and healthcare providers referencing campaign codeOCTSKIN25.
Because Diosole Medical operates with a global mindset (with distribution and clinical application across regions), we recognise that skin-care needs and device-access differ by geography. For example, patients in regions with limited clinic access may benefit more from guided home-use devices. Additionally, during travel-intensive months or exhibition commitments (such as upcoming medical fairs), maintaining skin-care continuity is difficult unless devices are portable and user-friendly.
By aligning our product strategy with October’s awareness themes—breast cancer, skin health, light-based therapy—we reinforce our brand’s relevance, support patients across diverse needs, and strengthen our global market positioning in the medical-device arena.
This October, as we mark awareness months and shine a light on skin- and health-literacy issues, the team at Diosole Medical invites you to join us in conversation, education and action. Whether you are a clinician, distributor, patient or partner: together we can boost understanding, advance care, and harness the power of light-based therapy for better skin and better lives.
