UVB Therapy for Psoriasis
Type:Uv phototherapy Time:2016-09-05 13:43:00UVB 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.
