Our Light Therapy counteracts the following Skin Diseases:

• Psoriasis - patches of inflamed red skin.  These patches, or plaques, develop because the outer layer of skin cells
                   reproduce too fast and pile up o the skin’s surface.  Psoriasis can cause pain and itching, limited motion
                   in the joints, and emotional distress.  Exposing affected areas to narrow band UVB light causes them to die,
                   a process called apoptosis.

• Pruritic Disorders - an unpleasant sensation that causes the need to scratch, commonly called itching by most people
• Vitiligo - sharply bordered white patches in the skin resulting from loss of pigment.  About half the patients experience onset before age 20.  Most commonly
• Eczema / Atopic Dermatitis - frequently described as "the itch that rashes." Intensely itchy patches form.
• Alopecia Aareata - hair loss caused by white blood cells mistakenly attacking hair follicles, often beginning in childhood.
  Phototherapy has been proven to treat these bald patches and support regrowth of hair.
• Dermatitis - an inflammation of the skin.
