• To produce results, UVB phototherapy requires the delivery of a specific amount of light energy (dose). Most types of phototherapy systems deliver unfocused light. Because they expose a larger portion of the skin to UV light, they must deliver it with lower overall intensity to avoid over-treating uninvolved skin. Therefore, this requires a longer treatment time to receive a therapeutic dose on involved skin. The Levia LiteBrushTM and LiteSpotTM attachments, allow you to target the UVB light directly and precisely to the affected areas of the skin. This means that Levia® can deliver a higher intensity of light. By targeting the beam and increasing its intensity, Levia can safely deliver the therapeutic treatment dose in less time.
