Ultraviolet phototherapy units are professional-grade devices that emit controlled ultraviolet B (UVB) or combined UVB/UVA light to treat skin conditions like psoriasis and other dermatological disorders. These units are designed for clinical use, typically featuring either a flat surface for seated or lying patients or a full-body chamber for even exposure, ensuring precise and targeted therapy under medical supervision.
These devices are regulated as medical equipment, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are generally supplied as professional-grade systems, intended exclusively for healthcare settings where trained professionals administer treatment. Classification and supply rules vary by country, but all must meet strict guidelines for UV emission safety and therapeutic efficacy.
