How often will I need to have UVB treatment? You will need UVB treatment sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for up to ten weeks, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. You must make sure you can commit to the whole course of treatment before you start.
Narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) light therapy Your starting dose will depend on your skin type and how easily you burn or tan. NB-UVB light therapy is most effective when performed two or three times a week. Once the skin is clear, maintenance sessions can be performed on a weekly basis.
A typical treatment protocol involves treatment with UVB light for a prescribed amount of time; typically ranging from 15 seconds to a few minutes up to 3 times per week. Phototherapy is available in your dermatologists office and now in your home with NatBio home phototherapy systems.
The cabinet has panels of fluorescent tubes. We will show you the machine before you commence your treatment and discuss with you the days and times of your treatment. Treatment is usually three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for up to ten weeks with a phototherapy nurse.
Post-Phototherapy Skin Care Shortening shower times and limiting showers to once per day is helpful. In addition, water temperature should be warm at most, but not hot. It is important for patients to moisturize their skin very thoroughly at least twice daily while receiving phototherapy.
