Narrowband UVB Phototherapy

Narrowband UVB phototherapy is a treatment that uses a precise type of ultraviolet light to help manage skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. The "narrowband" refers to a specific wavelength of UVB light that effectively targets affected skin cells while minimizing side effects. The procedure involves exposing the skin to controlled doses of this light in a clinical setting, typically over several sessions. The goal is to reduce inflammation and slow abnormal skin cell growth, improving skin appearance and symptoms with fewer risks compared to broader UV treatments.
