Phototherapy

Share

Phototherapy is the clinical approach to treating various skin condition ailments with the use of ultraviolet light.

Phototherapy is used for the treatment of skin diseases such as psoriasis, chronic dermatitis, and other skin disorders.

Our services include:

  • Ultraviolet-B (UVB)
  • Narrowband UVB
  • Total body PUVA, a combination of the drug psoralen (P) and long-wave ultraviolet radiation (UVA) to treat several severe skin conditions. Psoralen makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet light.
  • Hand/foot PUVA
