Narrowband UVB therapy

Narrowband UVB therapy is a dermatological treatment that uses a specific type of ultraviolet light to help improve skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. The therapy exposes the affected skin to a precise wavelength (around 311-313 nanometers), which helps reduce inflammation, slow excess skin cell growth, and promote healing. It is typically administered in a doctor’s office a few times a week and is considered safe and effective for many patients. This targeted approach minimizes exposure to other UV wavelengths, lowering the risk of side effects while providing therapeutic benefits.
