UVB Therapy has been used to treat psoriasis for decades, and is most commonly used in the treatment of guttate psoraisis or generalised plaque psoriasis. In the 1980s, the precise wavelength that was beneficial to people with psoriasis was pinpointed.  You may hear the treatment being referred to as Narrowband UVB, NBUVB or even TL01 (this is simply the type of lightbulb used).
UVB Therapy is given in a phototherapy unit in a hospital. The phototherapy team calculates how much of the UVB light each patient should be exposed to, and can increase the exposure over the course of the treatment as necessary. The treatment involves standing in a light cabinet for anything from a few seconds up to a few minutes, two to three times a week for six to eight weeks.
