How long does the treatment last before significant results are evident?
Treatment by exposure to UVB light is considered to be the safer form of phototherapy. It is recommended that a person afflicted with eczema undergo 3-5 treatments per week. The amount of UVB light used is gradually increased depending on the disease’s response and the type of skin. Usually, a noticeable improvement on the affected skin is observed within 1-3 months of therapy.
