UV treatment

Ultraviolet skin treatment

UV treatment is the use of ultraviolet light for therapeutic, sterilization, or industrial purposes.

In medicine, UV treatment addresses skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo by exposing affected areas to controlled doses of ultraviolet radiation.

Water purification systems use UV treatment to kill bacteria and other pathogens without chemicals.

The term also applies to curing processes in manufacturing, where UV light hardens coatings, inks, or adhesives.

My dermatologist recommended UV treatment for my stubborn psoriasis.
