It has a high UV intensity, with a wavelength of 310-315nm, for optimum treatment. It is very lightweight and can be operated with a timer. It comes with UV protection glasses and a 2 year warranty.

Psoriasis is a non-contagious, skin condition that affects around 2% of the population in the UK. It is characterised by light and dark red patches covered with silver scales and inflammatory spots. In most cases these lesions tend to be on the scalp, elbows, knees, and trunk of the body, and are accompanied by a feeling of tightness and itching. Psoriasis sufferers tend to have a genetic disposition to develop the condition, but it can also, be set off by triggers, such as emotional stress and infection. Once triggered, the skin cells pile up on the surface of the body. In people without psoriasis, the skin cells are shed every 28 days. In psoriatic skin, the cells rapidly move to the skins surface over 3-5 days, and result in lesions where the body can't shed the cells quick enough. At present, there is no cure for psoriasis, but there are a number of treatments available that can control and relieve the condition.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is the electromagnetic spectrum, not visible to the human eye. It is measured in nanometers (nm) and has a wavelength lying between 100nm and 400nm. It can be broken down into 3 bands: UVA, UVB and UVC. UVB is a shortwave ultraviolet light (with wavelengths of 290-320nm) that is found naturally in sunlight. It is well known that sunlight helps reduce the symptoms of psoriasis and UVB light treatment is extremely effective for treating moderate to severe psoriasis, as it slows the production of skin cells and reduces inflammation.

People who receive UV light treatments are at higher risk of premature aging of the skin, and of developing skin cancer. These risks should be balanced against the benefits of treatment. Patients must also take care to limit or eliminate their exposure to other sources of UV radiation, especially if they are taking a psoralen compound in addition to receiving the UV treatments.
