Howard S Goldberg, MD Inc in Swampscott, Massachusetts, is excited to offer UVB full body booth treatment. The UVB Booth treats patients with vitiligo, psoriasis, and other chronic skin conditions.
Phototherapy transfers wavelengths of UVB light to treat skin disorders. This type of therapy exposes the skin to ultraviolet light on a routine basis under the care of a medical provider. The way this treatment is successful is through consistent visits based on a personalized treatment plan. It is an approved FDA treatment for psoriasis.
The way ultraviolet light treats the skin condition is that UVB penetrates the skin and therefore slows down the affected skin cell growth. The skin is exposed to the light source for a period of time on a treatment schedule. The laser targets the affected area.
Treatments usually run about three times a week but each individual case is different and length of exposure time varies. Psoriasis usually requires up to 30 treatments, vitiligo is a regimentation process and takes longer. UVB Booth is not the end all cure for chronic skin conditions, but patients experience remission from UVB treatments. Results from UVB treatment can last for months at a time or even longer.
