Bio Tronic Derma Healing Light - UVA - UVB Photo Therapies for scaly skins
 
Treatment Options Overview
Phototherapy is the use of ultraviolet (UV) light to slow the rapid growth of new skin cells. This is helpful in treating psoriasis, which causes skin cells to grow too rapidly.
There are two types of ultraviolet (UV) light therapy:

Ultraviolet B (UVB)
UVB light is more effective than UVA light for treating psoriasis.
* Exposure times start at 30 to 60 seconds and are gradually increased until light causes the skin to turn red. When the skin no longer turns red after this much exposure, the time is increased.
* Treatments are given daily or several times a week.

Ultraviolet A (UVA)
UVA penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB.
* Treatment with UVA typically takes 20 minutes per session.
* UVA light is often used with psoralen drugs and is then called PUVA. With PUVA, the treatment time is greatly reduced, from 20 minutes to about 2 minutes.

Phototherapy may be given in a variety of places, such as in a hospital or doctor's office, in your home (UVB), or at a psoriasis day care center. Aside from UVA - UVB Photo Therapy Equipment that we supply to professionals we also supply a range of UVB home treatment products that will enable you to take care of your condition in the comfort of your home.
