THE HEALING POWER OF LIGHT
Narrowband phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for photoresponsive skin diseases and is considered a first-line treatment for many conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema. It’s safe enough for pregnant women and children to use, and has none of the serious side effects associated with competing biological drug therapies.

The Healing Power of Light
It is well known that light heals. Phototherapy is the use of therapeutic ultraviolet radiation to treat specific skin conditions. Research has led to the use of ever more specific wave ranges while eliminating or minimizing non-therapeutic radiation.
New to Phototherapy?
For the treatment of psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis, phototherapy often outperforms other treatment modalities in both effectiveness and speed of clearance. Narrowband UVB and PUVA (Psoralen + UVA) are safe, work extremely well, and are twice as fast at clearing patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.
Phototherapy
Phototherapy is a light based treatment used to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo by exposing the body to timed amounts of specific frequencies of light. The lamps in the phototherapy device emit ultraviolet (UV) light in a wavelength that creates changes within the skin cells. The cells in most patients then begin to behave normally, which reduces or eliminates the symptoms of the skin disease.
UVB therapy promotes an auto immune response by the skin cells to decelerate the rapid skin cell production that characterizes chronic skin conditions.
How it Works
During a phototherapy treatment, the skin is exposed to a special type of light from a device referred to as a phototherapy unit. The lamps in these units emit ultraviolet (UV) light in a wavelength that creates changes within the skin cells. The cells in most patients then begin to behave normally, which reduces or eliminates the symptoms of the skin disease.
