“…UVA1 has been shown to be effective in the treatment of keloids, possibly through the induction of the enzyme collagenase. 11 Our results suggest that UVA1 may also in part counteract the overproduction of ET-1 reported in some cases of fibrosis where the formation of excess scar tissue is associated with an abnormally large number of partially or totally occluded microvessels. Table 1.…”

“…The increase in the level of VEGF secretion overshadowed the levels of ET‐1 in either unstimulated or TGF‐β1‐stimulated fibroblasts. UVA1 has been shown to be effective in the treatment of keloids, possibly through the induction of the enzyme collagenase 11 . Our results suggest that UVA1 may also in part counteract the overproduction of ET‐1 reported in some cases of fibrosis where the formation of excess scar tissue is associated with an abnormally large number of partially or totally occluded microvessels.…”

“…In addition, UVA‐1 phototherapy was reported to be effective for chronic sclerodermiformous graft vs. host disease (44, 45), POEMS‐syndrome (46) and drug‐induced scleroderma (47). In our hands UVA‐1 does not work for keloids (48, 49).…”
