Scientists have long known the benefits of natural sunlight. Recent developments show that Narrow Band UVB rays, the most effective element of sunlight, can be used without medical agents and/or medications for the treatment of psoriasis and some other skin conditions.

More than 400 independent clinical studies have proven that the UVB Narrowband treatment is safer and more effective than any other treatment in its class. Lamps installed in such phototherapy treatment systems emit only a very narrow waveband from the ‘B’ bandwidth of the UV spectrum (290 to 315). Philips offers Philips TL/01 and PL/01 lamps with UVB narrow waveband of between 305 and 315 nm which peaks at 311 nm. This makes these lamps very suitable for skins that can react to the light.

Optimum therapeutic results in the treatment of dermatological disorders can be achieved with Clinical and Home UV-B Narrowband phototherapy systems which treat skin diseases such as; psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and Mycosis fungoides.

UVB light therapy should be conducted by medical doctors with the right dosage depending upon the skin type and the sickness.
