What is Phototherapy?

Type:Uv phototherapy   Time:2017-02-16 16:32:48 Phototherapy is the use of light to treat psoriasis, vitiligo and other skin disorders.  During treatment your skin is exposed to a special type of light from a lamp called a phototherapy unit. These units come in many shapes and sizes and range from hand-held and table-top models for spot treatment of small areas, to large ¡°walk-in¡± units for full-body treatment. Your doctor will determine which type of light will work best for you.  Narrow Band UVB is a very popular option because it is safe, easy and very effective. Clinical trials using Narrow Band UVB have demonstrated clearance rates of up to 80% for psoriasis patients.
