Light Therapy for Psoriasis: A Complete Guide to Safe and Effective Treatment
For international buyers in dermatology equipment, light therapy devices represent a growing $1.2 billion market with 8.7% annual growth (Grand View Research, 2023). This non-invasive treatment offers pharmaceutical-free relief for 80% of psoriasis patients, but quality variations and regulatory compliance remain key purchasing concerns.
What is Light Therapy for Psoriasis?
Medical-grade phototherapy uses specific wavelengths (typically 311nm narrowband UVB) to slow skin cell overproduction. Unlike tanning beds, therapeutic devices must meet IEC 60601-2-57 safety standards for medical electrical equipment.

| Biologics | 80-90% | Immune risks | $2,000-$5,000 |
