Why Choose UVB Light Therapy For Rosacea Treatment?
Rosacea is a chronic, long-term skin disease that commonly goes through cycles of fading and relapsing, effecting millions worldwide and hundreds of thousands across the UK. Relapses may be triggered by spicy foods, alcoholic beverages, sunlight, stress, and the intestinal bacteria Helicobacter pylori.
The four subtypes of rosacea encompass a wide variety of symptoms. Common symptoms include facial flushing, raised red bumps, facial redness, skin dryness, and skin sensitivity. On darker skin tones, brown or yellowish-brown bumps may appear, and the rash can have a dusky coloration. Living with Rosacea can be challenging, impacting your self-esteem and confidence.
UVB Light Therapy has emerged as a promising solution for managing Rosacea symptoms. This non-invasive treatment utilises targeted ultraviolet B (UVB) light to alleviate redness, inflammation, and other manifestations of Rosacea. UVB light has been shown to reduce the abnormal blood vessels and modulate the overactive immune response associated with the condition.
Unlike some other treatments, UVB Light Therapy typically requires minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the session. To start with, treatment sessions last anywhere between 30 seconds and a minute, gradually building this as time goes on. With regular sessions, UVB Light Therapy can provide long-term relief and significantly reduce the frequency and severity of Rosacea flare-ups.

Phototherapy For Rosacea
UVB light therapy at home is not only the most comfortable form of curing your skin, but with this UVB narrowband lamp technology, you can expect to see your skin clear up in a matter of weeks, 6-8 weeks is the average time. Phototherapy using UVB light is rarely used in the UK because of limited availability and the number of hospital visits required (the backlog with the NHS can leave you waiting a long time). By purchasing the lamps and machines yourself, this takes away the struggle of balancing appointments with doctors or experimenting with other methods such as using sunbeds (which are proven to be ineffective at treating skin conditions).
All our UVB light therapy units are manufactured in England and fitted with genuine, Philips brand narrowband lamps. Only Philips UVB lamps are used in hospitals worldwide, so you can be rest assured that you are receiving only the best and professionally proven UVB technology (always check that the unit contains Philips Lamps). The wavelength used by these machines is 311nm, which is commonly known as the therapeutic wavelength for skin condition, and therefore is highly recommended and used by doctors and dermatologists worldwide.
We strive to empower our customers with knowledge about UVB light therapy and Rosacea treatment. Our website offers valuable educational resources, including articles, guides, and tips to help you make informed decisions about your skincare routine.
