Abstract
An apparatus for applying targeted phototherapy to a skin treatment area includes a UVB module arranged to output light at about 308 nm having at least one flash lamp arranged to generate light including UVB light and a UVB transmissive window for transmitting UVB light generated by the flash lamp, a user interface, and a controller configured to detect when the user interface is actuated and to cause pulsing of the flash lamp in response to the actuation of the user interface. A method of applying targeted phototherapy to a skin treatment area includes contacting a phototherapy apparatus with the skin, the apparatus including at least one flash lamp and a UVB transmissive window, such that the window is positioned in alignment with the treatment area, and activating the flash lamp to cause pulsed UVB light at 308 nm to be transmitted through the window.
