Phototherapy is light therapy that is used to treat a variety of common skin conditions. Using a man-made source of ultraviolet (UV) light that avoids the skin damage and vitamin depletion caused by natural UV rays, our phototherapists alter the type and intensity of the light, as well as the length of treatment, based upon your condition. Types of phototherapy light include broad band, narrow band UVB, UVA, PUVA (UVA combined with a medication called psoralen) and Blue light. Your dermatologist will advise you on what type of phototherapy you need.
