UVB light therapy mimics the sun's natural ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which are crucial for the skin to produce vitamin D. Natural sunlight delivers 95% UVA and 5% UVB. Enyrgy Light Therapy devices has been engineered to deliver 95% UVB and 5% UVA. When the skin is exposed to UVB light, it initiates a natural process that converts a cholesterol precursor into vitamin D3, the active form of vitamin D that our body can use. This process is highly efficient and does not require prolonged exposure to the sun, minimizing the risk of skin damage through sunburn.
1. Mental Health and Sleep Regulation
◉ Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Light therapy can mitigate the effects of SAD by adjusting the body’s internal clock, improving mood, energy, and sleep patterns.
◉ Sleep Disorders: Exposure to light with specific wavelengths can help regulate sleep patterns, benefiting those with insomnia or irregular sleep schedules.
2. Skin Health and Conditions
◉ Eczema: UVB light therapy can reduce inflammation and itching associated with eczema.
◉ Psoriasis: Targeted UVB therapy helps slow down the overproduction of skin cells, alleviating the symptoms of psoriasis.
◉ Vitiligo: By stimulating melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigment, UVB can help in restoring color to white patches of skin affected by vitiligo.
◉ Acne: Certain wavelengths of light can kill bacteria on the skin, reducing acne outbreaks and improving skin clarity.
3. Boosting Vitamin D Production
Vitamin D Deficiency: UVB light therapy assists the skin in producing vitamin D, a crucial component for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.
4. Immune System Enhancement
Immunity Boosting: By increasing vitamin D levels, UVB light therapy can strengthen the immune system, offering better resistance against infections.
