Phototherapy

There are two ways to administer a phototherapy treatment: either on the whole body or on a large part of the body (in sunlight or in a cabin) or local phototherapy which targets a small and specific area of ​​the skin.

Local phototherapy is mainly administered in a doctor’s office, only on the affected part of the skin and not on the entire body. This avoids subjecting healthy skin to ultraviolet radiation which could cause side effects such as skin cancer. Although different wavelengths are effective for certain pathologies, narrow-band UVB rays (UVB-NB) are most often used, which represent a less significant carcinogenic risk than UVA radiation.

We offer you the largest phototherapy service point in Quebec as well as great accessibility from Monday to Friday.
