A Safe & Effective Solution For All

Phototherapy is SAFE for PREGNANT WOMEN, CHILDREN, the ELDERLY, & IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PATIENTS.

Studies have demonstrated that phototherapy is a safe and effective treatment for autoimmune skin diseases and is considered a first-line treatment for many conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema. Narrowband UVB (NBUVB), with appropriate prescription dose length and frequency, is a safe and effective treatment as it does not include the harmful UV rays associated with the sun or tanning beds – creating a powerful treatment option while also minimizing long-term risks.

Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) is safe enough for pregnant women3 and children2 to use without the potentially serious side effects associated with biological drug therapies.

The Benefits of Phothera Phototherapy:

NBUVB is safe for pregnant women3, children2, the elderly1, and the immunocompromised4.

NBUVB has proven effectiveness with 82% of patients seeing nearly clear skin at just 5 weeks5.

Phototherapy easily integrates into one’s life with at-home or in-office treatment options.
