GlossaryExcimer Light Therapy

uses UVB light to treat skin and hair conditions

Excimer Light Therapy, also known as Excimer Laser Therapy, is a medical treatment that uses a specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) light to target and treat various skin conditions, including psoriasis, vitiligo, and alopecia areata. The therapy involves directing a concentrated beam of UVB light to the affected areas, which helps to reduce inflammation and stimulate pigment production or hair regrowth, depending on the condition being treated.
