Grenz Rays

Grenz rays are a form of soft x-rays that share some properties with ultra-violet light radiation. They are absorbed in the first 2mm of the skin and are used to treat a number of skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP), Darier’s disease, Hailey-Hailey disease and resistant solar keratoses.

Both superficial x-ray therapy and Grenz ray therapy are delivered through specially calibrated superficial x-ray machines.
