The Benefits and Potential Side Effects of Narrowband UVB Therapy
Narrowband UVB therapy offers significant relief if you have persistent skin conditions. By targeting specific areas with a narrow UVB light, this treatment can reduce symptoms and potentially lead to more extended periods without flare-ups, improving your day-to-day comfort and self-confidence.
However, like any treatment, narrowband UVB therapy has possible side effects. Following sessions, you might experience mild redness or temporary irritation. Effects are usually manageable and typically diminish with continued treatment. We are happy to answer any questions you may have about the aftereffects.
What to Expect During a Narrowband UVB Treatment Session
When you arrive for your narrowband UVB therapy session, the process is straightforward and designed to ensure your comfort. Each session typically lasts only a few minutes, where you’ll stand in a specially designed cabinet that emits UVB light.
Before starting, you’ll need to wear protective eyewear and apply a skin lotion provided by your healthcare team.
After the session, no downtime is required, allowing you to continue your day as usual. Your doctor might advise applying moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and using sunscreen if you’re exposed to sunlight.
Following these simple steps can help manage any dryness or sensitivity that occurs.
