UVA/UVB Therapy
UVA/UVB therapy involves exposing the skin to controlled doses of ultraviolet light to treat certain skin conditions, such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. UVA and UVB are types of ultraviolet radiation; UVB is more effective at targeting skin cells that cause inflammation, while UVA penetrates deeper. The treatment helps reduce symptoms by slowing skin cell growth and calming immune responses. It’s performed in a clinic under medical supervision, with careful dosing to minimize risks like premature aging or skin cancer. Overall, UVA/UVB therapy is a valuable option when other treatments haven’t been effective.
