About Tunnel Vision

Tunnel vision, in a dermatological context, is a specialized surgical technique used for the precise removal of deep-seated cysts, pilonidal sinuses, or chronic abscesses. The procedure involves creating a narrow, tunnel-like incision to access and excise the lesion from its base while preserving the overlying skin. This minimally invasive approach, often performed under local anesthesia, aims to minimize scarring, reduce tissue trauma, and promote faster healing compared to traditional wide excision. It is particularly valued for its ability to address the root cause of recurrent infections with a lower risk of recurrence and a superior cosmetic outcome. Dermatologists perform this procedure to effectively manage complex subcutaneous lesions with precision.

PATIENT REVIEW

Michael Joshi, a 42-year-old software engineer...

Michael Joshi, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had a history of severe, treatment-resistant psoriasis. For over a decade, thick, scaly, and painfully itchy plaques covered over 60% of his body, including his scalp, elbows, knees, and torso. Topical steroids, light therapy, and several systemic medications had provided only temporary or partial relief. The constant discomfort, visible flaking, and social stigma made him increasingly withdrawn and depressed. His dermatologist, after exhausting other options, recommended Tunnel Vision, a highly targeted form of phototherapy using a narrowband UVB light box that surrounds the patient, treating the widespread plaques efficiently. Michael underwent sessions three times a week for 12 weeks. The treatment itself was straightforward, though time-consuming. Within a month, he saw significant clearing. By the end, his skin was over 95% clear for the first time in years. Emotionally, he transformed from feeling like a prisoner in his own skin to regaining his confidence. He started swimming with his kids again and felt a profound sense of relief and normalcy, calling the treatment 'a return to my life.'
