“…Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) was developed after studies demonstrated that wavelengths below 300 nm are more likely to produce burns, while wavelengths above 313 nm are not effective in clearing psoriasis. The optimized anti-psoriatic to erythemogenic ratio in NB-UVB promotes more rapid clearance and longer remission than broadband UVB (BB-UVB) 15 .…”

“…5,6 Its disadvantage is that variations in solar ultraviolet type B (UVB) due to changes in the thickness of the ozone layer, daily variations in cloud cover, rain, aerosol content of the air, precipitable water and season are not accounted for. 7,8 Exposure to ultraviolet type A (UVA) is also not considered for the same reasons.…”

“…Patients undergo 3 -5 treatments per week; the duration of treatment is at the doctor's discretion. 8,9 Avraham Kushelevsky et al 10 devised the concept of MED per hour (MED/h) to overcome these issues when using heliotherapy in the Dead Sea basin. The concept differs from MED (energy per unit area); the latter varies according to skin type, and is the minimum single dose of UVR required to produce erythema after 24 hours at an exposed site.…”
