Phototherapy is a medical treatment that uses devices emitting controlled ultraviolet light, mainly narrow band UVB (311–313 nm), to reproduce the beneficial effects of sunlight on the skin. Sessions are performed in a dedicated cabin, with carefully dosed and progressive exposure of the affected areas.
Narrow band UVB phototherapy is now considered a first-line option for several inflammatory skin diseases, especially psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis, as it modulates inflammation, regulates local immune responses and helps the skin gradually return to a more normal appearance.
Therapeutic perspectives
At MAVIT, phototherapy is prescribed after a full dermatologic assessment, defining indication, session frequency and total treatment length according to the condition, lesion extent and patient phototype. Treatment is delivered in a controlled setting, with customised protocols and regular monitoring of efficacy and tolerability. The aim is to reduce itch, inflammation and thickening, improve colour homogeneity and provide an effective therapeutic option for psoriasis, vitiligo and atopic dermatitis, often in combination with topical or systemic therapies when needed.
