Phototherapy for Psoriasis

Phototherapy is the controlled use of ultraviolet (UV) light to treat psoriasis, as well as eczema and vitiligo.  At Roseville Dermatology, we use Narrow-Band UVB light, which exposes you to only one wavelength of light that work for treating psoriasis.  We also offer Hand/Foot PUVA (psoralen medication with UVA light) to treat severe hand/foot psoriasis and eczema (including dyshidrotic eczema).  Partial to full skin clearing occurs after an average of 20 clinic treatments, which are done 2 to 3 times per week.
