Phototherapy
Millions of people around the world suffer from skin diseases like psoriasis or vitiligo. These conditions can limit people from living life to its fullest potential. Today, however, they can be treated with phototherapy, a simple, effective and clinically proven treatment method.
Ultraviolet Light
Phototherapy, also known as light therapy, involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light. Earth’s atmosphere naturally blocks most ultraviolet rays from reaching us, making natural sunlight less effective. This is why UV lamps are used to provide effective treatment.
UVB Treatment
Ultraviolet light can help reduce skin inflammation and may be useful for various inflammatory skin disorders. UV therapy typically requires visiting a clinic 3 to 5 times per week. Because consistency is key to successful light therapy, clinic-based treatment can be inconvenient and costly.
Alternative to drugs and creams
UVB phototherapy may be an effective treatment option when used appropriately. It may reduce the need for creams or photosensitizing drugs in some cases. UVB phototherapy could be the alternative you are looking for.
