NB UVB and XTRAC Laser Therapy at Signature Dermatology in Fort Worth
At Signature Dermatology in Fort Worth, we offer narrowband UVB (NB UVB) and XTRAC laser therapy as effective, targeted treatments for chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. These light-based therapies work by delivering specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light to affected areas, reducing inflammation, slowing excessive skin cell growth, and promoting natural healing.
NB UVB therapy exposes the skin to a precise range of UVB light that helps calm irritation and improve tone without damaging healthy tissue. It is ideal for patients with widespread symptoms and is performed under careful medical supervision to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Treatment Options
NB-UVB (Narrowband UVB) phototherapy is a medical treatment that uses a specific wavelength of ultraviolet B light to treat various skin conditions, particularly those related to excessive cell growth, such as psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. UVB light, in general, slows down the excessive growth of skin cells and reduces inflammation.
XTRAC is a brand name for a specific type of NB-UVB phototherapy device. The XTRAC laser delivers a highly targeted beam of UVB light to affected areas of the skin, minimizing exposure to healthy skin. It’s often used for treating localized areas of psoriasis, vitiligo, and other skin conditions. This targeted approach can result in more effective treatment with fewer side effects compared to broader UVB treatments.
Our Approach and Expertise
The XTRAC laser provides a more focused approach, delivering concentrated UVB light directly to smaller or resistant patches of skin. This allows for faster improvement with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy skin.
Both treatments are non-invasive, painless, and require no downtime. Over a series of sessions, patients typically see smoother, clearer skin and lasting relief from itching and discomfort. At Signature Dermatology in Fort Worth, our experienced providers customize every NB UVB and XTRAC treatment plan to help restore skin health, comfort, and confidence.
