Is Phototherapy Safe?
UV light therapy has been studied for over 100 years. Unlike oral, IV or IM medications, its safety record is proven in children and for long-term use with minimal side effects. However, you do need to follow your doctor’s prescription exactly to avoid sunburn which can lead to skin cancer. Our units help to ensure this with numerous safety features including a controlled prescription timer, child-proof key lock switch and more. Many units from National Biological are equipped with narrowband UVB lamps which use a wavelength that has never been linked to cancer.
