Targeted phototherapy, also known as light therapy, is a medical treatment that utilizes specific wavelengths of light to manage and treat various health conditions. This non-invasive therapy has been proven effective for a range of dermatological issues such as vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema.
Targeted phototherapy works by exposing the skin to specific types of light. The light emitted during the therapy is typically in the ultraviolet (UV) area of the spectrum. The light penetrates the skin and causes biological changes at the cellular level. These changes can lead to the reduction of inflammation, control of cell growth and other beneficial changes.
