Phototherapy ; Healing with Light

At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we offer UVB phototherapy as a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis and other skin conditions. This treatment uses ultraviolet B (UVB) light to slow down rapid skin cell turnover, reducing inflammation, scaling, and redness.

We provide narrowband UVB phototherapy (311–312 nm), which is the most effective form of treatment, offering longer-lasting results with shorter exposure times. Sessions are typically two to three times per week, with personalised adjustments based on each patient’s response.

UVB phototherapy is a non-invasive, drug-free option that can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. Our team ensures that treatment is delivered safely and effectively, with regular monitoring to achieve the best possible results.
