Phototherapy involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light on a regular basis and under medical supervision. The key to success with light treatment is consistency. Narrowband UVB is the most common form of phototherapy used to treat skin diseases. ¡°Narrowband¡± refers to a specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVB light is emitted at 311-312nm, which is the most beneficial portion of natural sunlight for skin diseases. Importantly, it also avoids the UVA spectrum of sunlight that is very damaging to skin, and can accelerate aging and progression towards skin cancers. Narrowband UVB can be used to treat a number of skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, pruritus, lichen planus and polymorphous light eruption.
