Back to Glossary

Phototherapy

Phototherapy, or light therapy, involves the use of ultraviolet (UV) light to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. It can also be used to manage neonatal jaundice. Phototherapy reduces inflammation, slows cell proliferation, and helps repigment the skin.
