Advancements in Narrowband UVB Phototherapy for Psoriasis Treatment

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting millions globally. Among the various treatment options available, narrowband UVB phototherapy (NB-UVB) has emerged as one of the most effective and safe non-pharmacologic therapies. With ongoing technological innovations, UVB phototherapy systems have significantly evolved — offering enhanced clinical outcomes, safety, and ease of use.

What is Narrowband UVB Phototherapy?

Narrowband UVB therapy uses light in the 311–313 nm wavelength range, which is proven to be most effective for treating psoriasis while minimizing unwanted side effects. This method targets T-cell–mediated inflammation in the skin, reduces scaling and erythema, and promotes remission with minimal systemic impact.
