The MedDerm Phototherapy Center is one of the highest quality in Southern California. Various light therapies are available at MedDerm to treat a wide variety of medical disorders of the skin.
Phototherapy is the controlled delivery of artificial ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light (a portion of the light emitted by the sun) is subdivided into UVA, UVB and UVC.
• | UVA and UVB light wavelengths are beneficial for the treatment of a variety of skin disorders including, but not limited to, psoriasis, vitiligo, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), chronic itching (pruritus and/or prurigo) and various types of dermatitis (eczema). |
• | When UV light is absorbed into the skin, it suppresses the immune function of the skin. This helps to rid the skin of immunologic problems that lead to skin damage and destruction. Fortunately, UV therapy does not suppress the overall immune function of the body (systemic immunity).
