What is Phototherapy?
Phototherapy, also known as Light Therapy, is a medical treatment that involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to treat various health conditions. This treatment has been used for many years to treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. It is also used to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD), a type of depression that occurs during the winter months when there is less natural sunlight.
How Does Phototherapy Work?
Phototherapy works by exposing the skin to specific wavelengths of light that penetrate deep into the skin’s layers. These wavelengths of light activate a chemical reaction in the skin cells, which helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Phototherapy can be administered using different types of devices such as lamps, light boxes, or laser devices.
Phototherapy has several benefits, including:
