Psoriasis & UVThera

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory condition that speeds up skin cell turnover. NB-UVB calms the inflammation driving it.

UNDERSTANDING PSORIASIS

What's happening, and why UV therapy helps.

What is it?

Psoriasis is an immune-driven condition where skin cells are produced much faster than normal, building up into thick, scaly, often itchy plaques — commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. It's a chronic condition that tends to flare and settle over time, and is not contagious.

Narrowband UVB (311 nm)

Treats larger areas of skin at once. UVB calms the overactive immune response and slows the rapid skin cell build-up behind plaques. It's a first-line treatment for widespread plaque psoriasis, including when topical treatments alone haven't worked.

Targeted 308 nm therapy

Focuses UVB light on individual plaques, so only affected skin is treated. Well suited to stubborn, localised psoriasis on the scalp, palms and soles, often with fewer sessions and a lower total UV dose.

HOW UVTHERA HELPS WITH PSORIASIS

Device, app, and dashboard — working together.

UVThera isn't just a UV lamp. It's a closed loop between what your skin actually receives, what you track, and what your dermatologist sees.

The Device
💡
Real dosimetry, every session
A calibrated photodiode measures the actual UV dose reaching your skin — not just elapsed time — so your psoriasis protocol stays accurate even as the lamp ages.
  • MED-calibrated starting dose
  • Automatic compensation as lamp output drops
  • Condition-specific dosing protocol
The App
📱
Tracks what matters, automatically
Every session, dose, and photo is logged without you having to remember anything — and your PASI score updates as you progress.
  • PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) auto-scoring
  • Session photo timeline
  • Reminders so you don't miss a dose
The Dashboard
🩺
Your dermatologist sees it too
Compliance, dose history, and your PASI trend are visible to your prescribing dermatologist in real time — no waiting for your next visit to adjust your plan.
  • Live compliance & adherence tracking
  • Remote protocol adjustments
  • ABHA-linked treatment record

Outcome tracking

PASI scoring, not guesswork.

PASI combines plaque area, redness, thickness, and scaling into a single severity score, so you can track real clearance instead of relying on how a plaque "looks" at a glance.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Psoriasis & UVThera — FAQ

Psoriasis plaques are typically thicker, well-defined, and silvery-scaled, driven by immune-triggered skin cell overproduction. Eczema tends to be itchier with less-defined, often weepy patches driven more by skin barrier and allergic-type inflammation.

Yes — the Excimer Pen's targeted aperture is well-suited for scalp plaques where a full-body device would be impractical.

Most protocols start at 3 sessions per week. Your dermatologist sets the exact frequency and escalation schedule from the dashboard based on your skin's response.

Report changes through the app, or your dermatologist may spot it from your photo timeline. They can pause escalation or adjust your protocol remotely.
