What is phototherapy?
Phototherapy in dermatology practice refers to the delivery of a very narrow spectrum of ultraviolet violet B light (UVB) for the treatment of skin conditions. Phototherapy works by decreasing the inflammation in your skin hence helping conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, itchy skin, vitiligo and many other skin conditions.
Our clinics are located in Rowville and Ringwood, Victoria.
