GlossaryExcimer Light (Excimer Lamp)

uses UVB light to treat skin conditions like alopecia

Excimer Light, also known as Excimer Laser or Excimer Phototherapy, is a form of ultraviolet (UV) light therapy used to treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata. It emits a specific wavelength of UVB light (usually 308 nm) that targets affected areas with precision, promoting skin healing and hair regrowth by modulating the immune response and reducing inflammation.
