Redondo Beach · Clinically supervised NB-UVB phototherapy
A decades-old treatment. A new way of understanding its impact.
Narrowband UVB phototherapy for established dermatologic conditions and, off-label, for patients with Long COVID, with careful screening and outcome tracking.
Why Narrowband UVB?
Narrowband UVB is a well-established phototherapy used in dermatology for conditions including psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo.
Some effects of UVB exposure can also be measured beyond the skin, which is why researchers are interested in its potential in other conditions.
At Darian, treatment is individualized and followed over time with safety monitoring and outcome tracking.
Who We Evaluate
Darian Light evaluates patients to determine whether narrowband UVB phototherapy may be appropriate.
Dermatologic conditions
- Psoriasis
- Eczema / atopic dermatitis
- Vitiligo
- Other appropriate dermatologic conditions
Emerging focus
- Long COVID with persistent fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbance, or reduced stamina
Use of NB-UVB for Long COVID is off-label; evidence is preliminary.
Before treatment is recommended, each patient receives an individual clinical evaluation including medical history, medications, photosensitivity risk, and other factors relevant to safe treatment.
Complimentary, 10–15 minutes, to determine whether an evaluation is appropriate.
Measuring Response
Before treatment starts and at regular check-ins, we track what matters for your condition:
- Skin changes
- Itch
- Fatigue
- Sleep
- Brain fog
- Daily function
We review those results when deciding whether to continue, adjust, or stop treatment.
Measure → Review → Decide what’s next
Outcome tracking guides care; it does not guarantee improvement.
