Yes, it seems to help about 60-70% of patients with eczema that have not responded adequately to topical treatments, though it does not work for everyone. When it does work, it is not a rapid improvement like some treatments: generally 1-2 months of steady treatment is necessary to start to see improvement. Fortunately for many patients, when it does work it seems to be a ¡°remittive¡± therapy, meaning it can put the eczema in a quiet state for a longer period of time, sometimes even long past the phototherapy has ended.
