ABSTRACT
Ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy involves standing in a light box, a closed-in cubicle which is lined with ultraviolet lights. You will not be locked into the light cabinet. You may open the doors and exit the booth at any time during the treatment. In the beginning, treatment sessions may last around 20 seconds. Treatment times slowly increase, depending on patient tolerance and skin disease being treated. Please follow the guidelines below to assure a smooth and productive treatment experience:
(1) Males are required to wear an athletic supporter while in the light box. Females will undress completely for their treatment unless otherwise instructed by their physician.
