UV phototherapy lamps are proven to treat a host of medical conditions, especially skin disorders such as eczema. Eczema is in irritating dermatitis condition which causes patches of dry, itchy skin in varying degrees of severity. Topical treatments include ointments and creams with corticosteroids and UV lamp therapy, which provide relief to symptoms although there is no known cure for eczema.
Phototherapy, also called light therapy, is delivered through specialty lamps prescribed by your physician. Phototherapy may be conducted in a controlled environment such as your doctor’s office, or lamps may be prescribed to take home for home treatment. UV phototherapy lamps are proven to improve symptoms of eczema, especially for patients in the northern hemisphere who experience outbreaks in the winter months when sunlight is minimal.
How Do UV Phototherapy Lamps Work?
UV phototherapy lamps for eczema are designed with the most effective UV wavelength emission proven to reduce symptoms. Light is measured by nanometers (nm) when emitted in wavelengths, with UV emissions divided into UVA, UVB and UVC. UVA light is measured at 315nm to 400nm and UVB between 280nm to 315nm and the narrow band of UVB specifically at 310nm proven to provide relief to eczema patients.
UV light in the right wavelength will reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system from overactive developing reducing the instance of patches of dry skin. When UVA light is recommended, a medication called Psoralen is used to increase the absorption of the light in the skin to obtain optimum relief.
