Ultraviolet Therapy
UVB / UVA Phototherapy ModalityTechnology Overview
Ultraviolet Therapy represents the cutting edge of rehabilitation technology utilized at Dr. Karolin Rockson PT. By integrating Ultraviolet Therapy into our evidence-based treatment plans, we can significantly accelerate tissue healing, reduce pain pathways, and enhance neuromuscular re-education beyond what traditional therapy alone can achieve.
How It Works (Clinical Mechanism)
Ultraviolet therapy delivers controlled doses of UV light (UVA 320–400 nm or UVB 280–320 nm) to affected skin or tissues. The radiation induces photochemical reactions that suppress abnormal immune responses in the skin, kill bacteria in infected wounds, and stimulate vitamin D production. This targeted approach treats dermatological and wound healing conditions.
Clinical Indications
- •Psoriasis vulgaris and guttate psoriasis
- •Atopic dermatitis and chronic eczema
- •Vitiligo (repigmentation therapy)
- •Acne vulgaris (P. acnes sensitivity)
- •Chronic infected wounds
- •Mycosis fungoides (early stage CTCL)
Contraindications
- •Xeroderma pigmentosum or lupus
- •Photosensitive skin disorders
- •Active or recent skin cancer (melanoma, SCC)
- •Pregnancy (PUVA therapy)
- •Immunosuppression
- •Use of photosensitizing medications
Clinical Expected Outcomes
Clears psoriasis plaques in 70–80% of patients within 8–12 weeks
Reduces eczema severity scores by 50–70%
Achieves repigmentation in 50–70% of vitiligo patches
Accelerates healing of chronic infected wounds
Provides steroid-sparing treatment for inflammatory skin conditions
