Science
How the Treatment Works
Our skin is specifically tuned to absorb NB-UVB light, which starts a natural cascade of actions that calms the immune system and reduces inflammation for better health.
In psoriasis, NB-UVB performs as well as Humira clinically, and outperforms it in patient quality of life satisfaction.

How NB-UVB Reaches Immune CellsNB-UVB light interacts with Langerhans cells and other cells resident in the skin. They move to the lymphatic system, influencing immune responses at the cellular level, restoring homeostasis.

What Happens During a SessionTreatment sessions are brief and done at home—standing in front of the light. Your prescription starts with very short sessions—usually less than a minute per side each day—and gradually increases to about four minutes per side over a month, becoming an easy part of your daily routine and ongoing health maintenance.

Why It’s Being Prescribed Beyond DermatologyNB-UVB’s systemic benefits have been underappreciated as a fundamental treatment for autoimmune diseases. Many patients are looking for a non-drug option that their doctor can prescribe to calm their immune system.
