  3. SKIN MATTERS BRISTOL Understanding UV Treatment for Psoriasis UV radiation has been found to be beneficial in treating psoriasis due to its immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects. UV treatment is commonly divided into two types: UVB (ultraviolet B) and PUVA (psoralen plus ultraviolet A). UVB treatment involves exposure to UVB rays, whereas PUVA treatment combines the use of a photosensitizing medication called psoralen with UVA radiation. Mechanism of Action UV radiation works by suppressing the overactive immune response in psoriasis. It inhibits the rapid growth of skin cells, reduces inflammation, and promotes the normalization of skin cell turnover. UVB radiation specifically targets T-cells, which play a key role in the immune response, while PUVA therapy affects both T-cells and other immune cells.
