This state-of-the-art phototherapy utilises a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light to manage inflammatory dermatoses like psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis.

Narrowband UVB Treatment in Nairobi works by emitting a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light (311-313 nm) that targets the skin. This light penetrates the skin to suppress the cell-mediated immune response, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. The treatment is effective for conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and atopic dermatitis, as it decreases the activity of pro-inflammatory cytokines and T-cells, which play a role in these skin diseases.
During Narrowband UVB Treatment in Nairobi, patients can expect a straightforward and comfortable procedure. The treatment is conducted in a controlled environment where the affected skin areas are exposed to the UVB light. Sessions typically last a few minutes and are scheduled two to three times per week. Protective eyewear is provided to shield the eyes from UV exposure. Patients may feel a mild warming sensation during the session, but the procedure is generally painless.
