Ultraviolet Light Therapy
Ultraviolet light, also known as natural light, is an effective method of treating a range of skin disorders. It can be used alone or in combination with other medications applied directly to the skin or taken internally. It can be used to successfully treat:
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
- Skin pigmentation disorders

The Treatment
Phototherapy is prescribed after an evaluation by your Consultant Dermatologist, who will take into consideration your medical history and skin condition. The skin is exposed to a particular band of the non-visible light spectrum. We also offer narrow band UV treatment, which is the safest and alternative treatment for patients with very fair skin which is a common Irish skin type.
Aftercare
Patients should follow their Dermatologist’s treatment instructions exactly.
