UVA and UVB are present in sunlight, but "unlike UVB, UVA is relatively not effective on Psoriasis unless used with a light-sensitizing medication psoralen, which is administered topically or orally, says the National Psoriasis Foundation." This process, called PUVA, slows down excessive skin cell growth and can clear psoriasis symptoms for varying periods of time. Stable plaque psoriasis, guttate psoriasis and psoriasis of the palms and soles are most responsive to PUVA treatment. The Las Vegas Skin and Cancer Center (LVSC) has a PUVA clinic in which they offer the latest in light therapy and Psoriasis treatments.
