Narrow-band UVB Photography

Narrow-band UVB refers to a specific wavelength of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, 311 to 312 nm. This range has proved to be the most beneficial component of natural sunlight for Psoriasis and is promising in the treatment of some other skin conditions including atopic eczema and vitiligo. 

Compared with broadband UVB, in the treatment of psoriasis, Narrow band UVB treatment has the following features:
Exposure times are shorter but of higher intensity. 
The course of treatment is shorter
It is more likely to clear the psoriasis
Longer periods of remission occur before the psoriasis reappears
