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.
