We offer two kinds of phototherapy that target specific areas of concern. A referral from a doctor or a nurse practitioner is required to be one of our phototherapy patients. “Walk-in” treatment – no appointment required. Time efficient treatment, approximately 2-5 minutes.
Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is used to treat many skin disorders including but not limited to psoriasis, dermatitis/eczema, and vitiligo. This treatment is a provincially insured service with no cost to patients. During active treatment, 2-3 visits a week are required.
This is NOT a tanning bed. It is designed to emit a narrow spectrum of light at a wavelength of 311 nm. Research shows that this very specific photo-therapy is anti-inflammatory for many skin conditions – especially psoriasis. Therapy is closely monitored and very safe.
Topical PUVA photo-therapy is used to treat disorders of the hands and feet. The medicine used on the hands and feet for this therapy requires strict sun protection (gloves and socks) for 24 hours after treatment. This can be a limiting factor in the summer months and for outdoor workers. During active treatment, 2 visits a week are required.
Times are subject to change depending on staff and seasonal changes.
