What Is UVB Phototherapy?
UVB phototherapy is a safe light treatment that helps calm chronic skin conditions. It uses a narrowband UVB wavelength that reaches the top layers of your skin. This light slows fast-growing skin cells and reduces inflammation. Many patients see fewer flare-ups, less redness, and smoother skin with regular sessions.
