Psoriasis Care - Light Therapy Treatment for Psoriasis

UVB light therapy can be used to treat guttate and generalised plaque psoriasis if the psoriasis has not responded to other treatments.

This type of treatment needs to be given by a medical professional who will work out exactly how much UVB is needed.

Treatment is usually administered two or three times a week, for a period of four to six weeks and involves standing in a UVB cabinet for a short period of time.
