Your skin may remain pale or turn slightly pink after each treatment. Please let us know if you experience any discomfort. The results for each individual will vary depending on your skin type and the condition being treated. For psoriasis the patches generally start to become thinner after five to ten treatments. Most patients require 15 to 25 treatments for the patches of psoriasis to clear. Patients with eczema generally require consistent treatment over one to two months before they see improvement. Fortunately for many patients it seems to be a ¡°remittive¡± therapy, meaning it can put the eczema in a quiet state for a long period of time after the phototherapy has ended. Results for vitiligo are usually seen between thirty to sixty treatments. The UVB light helps to stimulate pigment cells to produce melanocytes in less time than it takes to burn the skin.
