What is phototherapy?
Phototherapy is a prescribed treatment that uses ultraviolet (UV) light emitted from an artificial light source to treat various skin conditions such as:
- Eczema/dermatitis
- Psoriasis
- Mycosis
- Fungoids
- Lichen planus
- Vitiligo
Ultraviolet B (UVB) light is one of the three types of UV radiation emitted by the sun, the Skin Health Insititute has 2 narrowband UVB units, and UVB hand and foot machines available.
This treatment is not a cure but can effectively control or improve the disease to the extent that clearance may be maintained with topical medications at home or no active treatment is needed at all.
Clinic Schedule
Phototherapy is conducted in conjunction with our Advanced Targeted Therapies Clinic fortnightly on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
