Ultraviolet (UV) light therapy is an effective, non-drug option for treating psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. It works by emitting light that reduces skin inflammation. However, it’s important to use home phototherapy devices under medical supervision, as improper use of UV radiation can cause serious burns, similar to sunburn. Managing the treatment frequency and dosage with a doctor’s guidance helps ensure safety and effectiveness. Regular check-ins with your healthcare provider will help prevent adverse effects and ensure the therapy is beneficial.
