Ultraviolet light therapy

Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy involves exposing skin to controlled amounts of UV radiation to treat various medical and dermatological conditions. It works by influencing immune responses and promoting the production of vitamin D, which can help reduce inflammation and slow abnormal cell growth. Commonly used for skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo, the therapy is carefully administered by healthcare professionals to minimize risks such as skin aging or cancer. When used appropriately, UV therapy can be an effective and targeted treatment option, providing relief and promoting healing in affected areas.
