Phototherapy
or light therapy, involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light on a
regular basis and under medical supervision. Treatments are done in a
doctor's office or at home with phototherapy unit. The key to success
with light therapy is consistency.
Present in
natural sunlight, UVB is an effective treatment for psoriasis and other
skin disorders. UVB penetrates the skin and slows the growth of affected
skin cells and decreases the number of inflammatory cells in the skin.
Treatment involves exposing the skin to an artificial UVB light source
for a set length of time on a regular schedule. This treatment is
administered in a medical setting or at home. Narrow band UVB uses a
narrow range of UVB wavelengths making the treatment more effective and
safer.
UVB can be combined with other topical
and/or systemic agents to enhance efficacy. Combining UVB with systemic
therapies may increase efficacy dramatically and allow for lower doses
of the systemic medication to be used.
