Özet
Phototherapy remains an essential treatment option for patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Various spectra of the UV-B and UV-A wavelenghts are used for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. Photochemotherapy combines initial topical or systemic administration of a photosensitizer with the subsequent exposure to light of the corresponding wavelength, generally UVA light (320-400 nm). Photochemotherapy and narrow band UVB can be used as treatments either as monotherapy or combination with other agents,to effectively treat moderate or severe psoriasis.
