PHOTOTHERAPY UNIT
Phototherapy is the use of light – ultraviolet (UV) light – to treat skin diseases.
It is a proven treatment for inflammatory skin conditions like:
- Psoriasis
- Atopic Dermatitis and other Eczemas
- Vitiligo
- Mycosis fungoides (a type of skin lymphoma)
- Alopecia areata
- Other phototherapy responsive skin conditions
Such is also very effective for itchiness due to kidney or liver disease and other chronic causes, as well as other inflammatory skin conditions.
In generalized phototherapy, a patient stands inside a UV cabinet while wearing the appropriate protective gear. This treatment is generally safe – even with prolonged use – and is the ideal treatment option for chronic skin conditions. Narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB), in particular, offers the added advantage of being safe for pregnant and lactating women, children, and those with liver or kidney disease.
