The excimer 308 nm wavelength light source is a targeted narrowband UVB (ultraviolet B) treatment option for localized eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo. By targeting specific areas with an adjustable handpiece, light can be delivered to affected areas without exposing the whole body unnecessarily. This allows for the use of higher energy levels and access to hard-to-reach areas, such as the scalp.
