Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is used for the treatment of skin conditions including psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo, and sometimes for generalised itchy skin. The treatment uses artificial light delivered at high intensity for short periods over a series of treatments. The treatments are short in duration and are available 5 days per week.
