• Phototherapy is the use of ultraviolet (UV) light to treat conditions like psoriasis. While this light occurs naturally as a component of sunlight, it can also be produced artificially with lamps that deliver controlled doses. The treatment can consist of UV light in the ultraviolet A (UVA), Broadband ultraviolet B (BB UVB), or Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB UVB) wavelengths.
