Narrow Band UVB Light Therapy

1947231440

Benefits
  • NB-UVB is a useful and well-tolerated treatment option for patients with eczema. Over many treatment sessions, patients see reduction or complete elimination of eczematous patches.
  • Clinical studies show the peak therapeutic effectiveness of UVB to be within the range of 295-313 nm, but wavelengths below 300 nm can cause redness or severe burning and increase the risk of skin cancer.
  • NB-UVB virtually eliminates superfluous and harmful UV by emitting only wavelengths 311-312 nm. (Conventional broad-band UVB lamps emit a variety of wavelengths ranging from 280-330 nm).
  • Eliminating UV in wavelengths below 311 nm permits higher intensities and longer exposure times, so patients can derive the maximum benefit from phototherapy.
  • The increased effectiveness permits even more aggressive treatment approaches, resulting in a shorter course of treatment.
  • Published research papers confirm that patients not only avoid the danger of serious burning from sub-erythemal exposure, they may also enjoy longer remission periods after treatment.
  • Remission periods are similar to those with PUVA therapy and markedly superior to broad band or conventional UVB treatment. Studies show 38-40 percent of narrow-band treated patients require no additional therapy for at least 12 months.
  • NB-UVB can also be used to treat patients with hand dermatitis or dyshidrosis – a condition that causes blisters on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Creams are often messy and have poor results.

About Narrow Band UVB Light Therapy

Eczema is a common skin disorder presenting with scaly, itchy patches of the body, extremities and face. Phototherapy for eczema is beneficial because it can target large areas of skin without the side effects of oral or topical medications. During phototherapy sessions, a machine emitting rays of narrow band UVB (NB-UVB) light is directed at the area of the body being treated. A session takes only a few minutes, and patients can receive treatment several times a week. Other phototherapy options such as PUVA therapy has been well described for eczema; however, its limitations include nausea and light sensitivity reactions, as well as long-term skin cancer concerns. Today, NB-UVB phototherapy is a wonderful alternative for patients with fairly extensive disease. NB-UVB has proven to be one of the most effective treatment options for thousands of patients all over the world.
