HOW DOES ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AFFECT SKIN DISORDERS?
Type:Uv phototherapy Time:2018-06-13 11:21:08 There has been much research into how ultraviolet light produces a beneficial effect and there appear to be three mechanisms:
Ultraviolet light slows down the multiplication of skin cells by suppressing formation of DNA in cells. This is the main way in which it improves psoriasis.
Ultraviolet light alters the function of immune cells in the skin but in doing so does not appear to affect our normal immunity. This is probably the mechanism whereby ultraviolet light helps some types of eczema.
Ultraviolet light causes darkening and thickening of skin so that less light can enter the skin. Disorders in which the skin is more sensitive to light than is normal are probably helped via this mechanism.
