Phototherapy Treatment Process
Phototherapy is a safe and fast way to treat many different types of skin conditions. Using our state-of-the-art equipment, a specific type of artificial ultraviolet light or, at times, other wavelengths of light, is produced and targeted to affected areas. The number of necessary sessions depends on the condition and patient.
Patients are first evaluated by a board-certified dermatologist expert in phototherapy to determine the proper dose and treatment type. The patient is then educated about the risks and benefits of the procedure.
There are very few side effects associated with phototherapy. Redness, peeling, inflammation, itchiness, or scabbing may occur, but generally subside within a few days with moisturizing.
