UVB Light Therapy at Home for Psoriasis
Share
Living with psoriasis can be challenging, but more Australians are finding relief through UVB light therapy at home for psoriasis. This treatment has become an effective, convenient, and affordable alternative to hospital visits or dermatologist-only sessions. At Australian Psoriasis and Eczema Supplies, we provide a trusted range of UVB lamps and phototherapy devices that make managing psoriasis from the comfort of your own home easier than ever.
In this blog, we’ll explain how UVB light therapy works, the benefits of home treatment, and the products available through our store to support your journey.
What is UVB Light Therapy for Psoriasis?
UVB light therapy (also called narrowband UVB phototherapy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of ultraviolet B light (311nm) to slow the rapid growth of skin cells that cause psoriasis plaques.
-
Targeted wavelengths: Narrowband UVB at 311nm is clinically proven to be the most effective and safest spectrum for psoriasis treatment.
-
Slows down flare-ups: UVB exposure reduces redness, itching, and scaling.
-
Dermatologist-endorsed: It is one of the most commonly prescribed psoriasis treatments worldwide.
Traditionally, patients had to attend clinics several times a week, but with the right devices, it is now possible to access the same therapy from home.
