Phototherapy - Medical Use of Sun tanning - Ultraviolet light - Dr Peppercorn

In 1984, Dr. Peppercorn introduced viewers to the concept of using ultraviolet rays to treat the skin condition called psoriasis and a few other conditions. Although viewers knew that sun tanning machines can cause cancer, they did not know that similar machines can offer great treatment help in improving the hereditary skin condition called psoriasis. During the following years ultraviolet light treatment has improved through the use of narrow band ultraviolet B, UVA and PUVA. Although this treatment can still be very effective, many patients today choose one of the newer biological medication treatments for psoriasis such as Enbrel or Humira since they can be much more convenient. The main advantage of phototherapy or the use of ultraviolet light is that it does not have any significant effect on the immune system as can some of the biological medications. Dr. Peppercorn continues his busy and highly respected dermatology practice in Yuba City, California, as a member of Sutter North Medical Group.
