UBI - The Power of Light! Ultraviolet blood irradiation (simple called UBI) is a cure that time has indeed forgotten. UBI was extensively used in the 1940âs and 1950âs to treat medical conditions including pneumonia, tuberculosis and even cancer. The advent of antibiotics lead to a decline in the use of UBI as an effective treatment option.
UVB is the âfirst-lineâ phototherapy treatment, since, for the type of psoriasis for which it is suitable, it can be as effective as PUVA but has fewer immediate side effects and is very much safer in the long term.It is entirely safe in pregnancy and is the preferred phototherapy for children.laques or particularly troublesome flare-ups. Both UVB and UVA can be used to treat psoriasis. UVB is used on its own but UVA requires that the skin be sensitised by a plant-derived chemical called psoralen before it is effective. The treatment combining psoralen and UVA is termed PUVA.
