Atopic dermatitis, just like other skin diseases such as vitiligo or psoriasis, can be treated effectively with narrowband UVB phototherapy.<\/p>\n

According to data from the Healthy Skin Foundation of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, moderate improvement is observed in 80% of cases of moderate outbreaks or maintenance treated with narrowband UVB phototherapy.<\/p>\n

The wavelengths used in narrowband UVB phototherapy measure 311 nm, meaning it excludes radiation under 300 nm, with strong potential for erythema (causes reddening of the skin) but not therapeutic.<\/p>\n

This kind of phototherapy has a higher safety profile than PUVA (psoralen and UVA therapy) and broadband UVB phototherapy.<\/p>\n

Our domestic-use nb-UVB phototherapy lamp<\/a> has a timer to ensure precise exposure times, and comes with a complete user manual specifying session durations.<\/p>\n

In the case of treating atopic dermatitis, a protocol based on the patient\u2019s phototype is followed, with recommended increases per session of around 10% depending on the appearance or non-appearance of erythema.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
