What is Phototherapy?
Phototherapy is a nurse-led treatment and is sometimes also referred to as light therapy because the treatment includes an ultraviolet (UV) light which helps treat certain skin conditions as well as certain types of cancer and precancer. The affected area of skin is exposed to a UV light for a period of time, shutting down the immune system cells that caused the condition by an overreaction.
How does Phototherapy Work?
Phototherapy works by reducing growth of skin cells and treating underlying inflammation by exposing the skin to an Ultra Violet (UV) light for a certain amount of time.
The UV light will shut down the immune system cells that are on an area of skin affected by certain types of skin conditions that are caused by the overreaction of the immune system.
Such as eczema or psoriasis for example. By stopping the immune system cells, phototherapy helps to ease the symptoms and reduce the appearance of these conditions.
