UV Phototherapy
What it is
Phototherapy treats the skin with carefully dosed ultraviolet light — typically narrow-band UVB — in a medical cabin or with targeted lamps, under dermatological supervision.
Who it's for
Guests with chronic inflammatory skin conditions — psoriasis, atopic eczema, vitiligo and related disorders — that respond to controlled UV exposure.
Expected results
Clearer, calmer skin with reduced plaques, itching and inflammation over a supervised series of sessions.
How it works
Narrow-band UVB light penetrates the epidermis and modulates the local immune response in the skin. It slows the over-rapid skin-cell turnover that drives psoriasis and dampens the inflammation of eczema. The dose is individually titrated to your skin type and increased gradually to keep exposure safe and effective.
Assessment
Duration:10 minThe dermatologist assesses your skin type and sets the starting UV dose.
Light session
Duration:a few minutesYou receive a short, precisely timed exposure in the cabin or under targeted lamps, with eye protection.
Review
Skin response is reviewed and the dose adjusted for the next session.

Frequently asked
Questions about uv phototherapy
Answers to the questions our guests ask most about this treatment.
About this treatment
No. Phototherapy uses a specific, medical wavelength (usually narrow-band UVB) at a dose individually calculated and supervised by a dermatologist. A cosmetic sunbed is neither dose-controlled nor targeted at skin disease and is not a substitute.
Psoriasis and atopic eczema respond particularly well, and it is also used for vitiligo and some itching conditions. Our dermatologist confirms whether your condition is suitable.
No referral is required, but phototherapy is always dermatologically supervised. Our physician assesses your skin and history on arrival.
Your stay
Often, yes — at our skin resorts phototherapy is combined with sulphur balneology for chronic skin disease. Our coordinator will build the right combination into your programme.
