UV therapy
Healing ultraviolet exposure
UV therapy is medical treatment using ultraviolet light to treat skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo.
The controlled exposure to UV rays—typically UVA or UVB wavelengths—slows abnormal skin cell growth or suppresses immune responses.
Sessions occur in clinical settings or with home devices: She goes in for UV therapy three times a week.
