Phototherapy of psoriasis: update with practical pearls.Journal of cutaneous medicine and surgery, 6 3 Suppl
Psoriasis is considered one of the most prevalent immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, which leads to physical and emotional disabilities that can severely impact patients' quality of life. Phototherapy with ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been an effective treatment for psoriasis for well over 85 years. Home phototherapy is becoming more popular as several factors act as a barrier for outpatient phototherapy for moderate to severe psoriasis.Various studies have shown home phototherapy to be an effective and safe option. Today, many phototherapy units are available for home use. In this article, we will review the efficacy and safety of home phototherapy and briefly discuss the available home phototherapy units, including handheld units for scalp psoriasis and psoriasis limited to smaller body surface area.
