UVB Narrowband Phototherapy Lamp Technology
A UVB narrow band lamp emits light energy. Narrowband
UVB phototherapy (UVB-NB) comprises a subset of the UVB wideband, or broadband, spectrum centered at roughly 311 nm. This is less than 1% of total range of wavelengths from sunlight.
Narrow band UVB has been shown to be the optimal part of the UV light spectrum
which slows growth of psoriasis lesions. Since the narrowband wavelength
is shorter than braodband, exposure time to narrow band UVB phototherapy
treatment lights can be increased. The result is powerful targeted
phototherapy treatment.
Another clear advantage of narrowband UVB is that skin is most sensitive to erythemic
response, (sun burning) at 297 nm, so narrow band phototherapy nearly eliminates
this problem as shown in the chart below.

- Psoriasis - Research shows that Narrow Band UVB
lights have a therapeutic advantage over traditional Broad Band UVB lights.
This is because Narrowband UVB lights provide faster clearing, less sun burning, and more complete disease resolution.
- Vitiligo -
Today Narrow Band UVB lights are proving to be very useful in the treatment of
Vitiligo. Narrowband UVB light treatment is replacing traditional PUVA
phototherapy treatment. UVB Narrow Band for vitiligo requires no
photo-sensitizing agents. Ask us or ask your doctor.
