(Light Therapy)
Phototherapy, also known as light therapy, is a safe and effective treatment that uses ultraviolet (UV) or visible light to treat various skin conditions.
During a phototherapy treatment, your skin is exposed to controlled doses of light, which triggers beneficial cellular responses. This can help improve your skin’s health and appearance in a variety of ways.

Types of Phototherapy Lights
There are two main types of light used in phototherapy: ultraviolet (UV) light and visible light. Each type offers unique benefits:
Ultraviolet (UV) Light: UV light comes in different wavelengths – UVA, UVB and UVC, UVB being the most common type used in phototherapy. UVB light helps reduce inflammation and the rate at which skin cells grow, which helps manage psoriasis and eczema.
Visible Light: Visible light therapy uses LED lights in various colors, each with a specific target and benefit:
- Red Light: Red light penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production. This can reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and improve overall skin texture.
- Blue Light: Blue light targets bacteria, making it ideal for treating acne. It can help reduce breakouts and prevent future blemishes.
