Light therapy (phototherapy) has shown impressive results for many people with psoriasis, with 50-90% of patients experiencing noticeable improvement in their symptoms. Some people even achieve complete clearing of their skin.

One MyPsoriasisTeam member shared that after just two weeks of red light therapy, their face became completely clear, their back was 98% clear, and their legs showed improvement. Another member reported seeing positive results after just three sessions. While light therapy can be very effective, it does require commitment to a regular treatment schedule, typically three times per week for 4 weeks to 3 months. Some people find maintenance sessions helpful for preventing flares.

It's important to note that while generally safe, some people may experience mild side effects like skin redness, itching, or burning sensation. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully and report any concerning symptoms during treatment.
