Abstract

The exposure to ultraviolet radiations and visible light, or phototherapy, is a well-known therapeutic tool available for the treatment of many dermatological disorders. The continuos medical and technological progresses, of the last 50 years, have involved the field of phototherapy, which evolved from UVA and PUVA in its various forms, to the development of narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) and NB-UVB micro-focused phototherapies. Further advances in technology have now permitted the introduction of a new device emitting UVA-1 radiations.
