UVB phototherapy equipment
Why choose
UVB Phototherapy
Initially, we were using broadband UVB, but currently, we provide narrowband UVB phototherapy (311nm). Increasing doses of UVB are given by each exposure (three to five times weekly until the skin condition is cleared, failed to respond, or it is a pre-determined maximum number of treatments). The aim is to make the skin slightly pink but not to burn it.
Ultraviolet B, which is a component of natural sunlight, is an effective treatment for psoriasis. UVB penetrates the skin and slows down the growth of affected skin cells. Treatment involves exposing the skin to an artificial UVB light source for a pre-defined timespan following a certain schedule.
* Phototherapy is very effective in treating the symptoms of psoriasis, vitiligo and other skin disorders. However, there are no cures for these conditions, so as with any treatment, flare-ups can still occur.
Why UVB Phototherapy
is better than other methods
Safe
UVB phototherapy is considered a first-line treatment for many conditions including psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema. it is safe enough for pregnant women and children to use, and has none of the serious side effects.
Works Fast
For psoriasis, both Narrowband Phototherapy and PUVA have median clearance timespan of only 4-5 weeks. That means you get clear skin twice as fast as Enbrel, Stelara, Humira or Remicade!
Affordable
In-office phototherapy treatments or the one off purchase of the home phototherapy unit are reasonably priced and may even be covered by some private insurance companies, depending on your location.
Effective
For decades, statistics have shown consistently high rates of clearance for both PUVA and UVB. Patients who stop using phototherapy almost never from the flares or rebounds that are common with other treatments.
