Narrow Band UV B Phototherapy

Narrow Band UV B phototherapy employs a specific band of ultraviolet light for the treatment of a variety of skin conditions. This treatment is safe, effective and is often used when one wishes to avoid use of systemic medications. We utilize this treatment as there is no increased risk for development of skin cancers (as opposed to a standard tanning bed). The most common conditions treated with narrow band UVB are psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and generalized pruritus (itching).
