- Narrow band UVB light treatment uses the optimal part of the UVB light spectrum which slows growth of psoriasis lesions or re-pigmentation of one's natural skin coloring.
- Exposure time of narrowband UVB lamps can be longer than with traditional broadband UVB yielding more effective results. Recent studies have shown 75% clearing (PASI 75) with narrowband UVB.
- Erythemal response (similar to sunburn) is nearly eliminated with narrowband UVB light.
- Risks and side effects of other treatments such as systemic drugs have not been found with narrowband UVB light therapy.
