Phototherapy
Our Phototherapy Unit offers both narrowband UVB and PUVA photo therapy (light therapy) to treat a variety of skin diseases. Many other diseases may also respond to light treatments. A hand and foot PUVA unit is also available for the treatment of dermatoses involving the hands and feet only. Treatments are typically given 2-3 times each week, in our clinic in the Primary Care Center.
Diseases for which phototherapy is helpful include:
- psoriasis
- eczema
- cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
- vitiligo
- pruritus
