Abstract

The use of ultraviolet (UV) light, for the treatment of skin conditions, dates back to the early 1900s. It is well known that sunlight can be of therapeutic value, but it can also lead to deleterious effects such as burning and carcinogenesis. Extensive research has expanded our understanding of UV radiation and its effects in human systems and has led to the development of man-made UV sources that are more precise, safer, and more effective for the treatment of wide variety of dermatologic conditions.

摘要

紫外线（UV）光用于治疗皮肤疾病的历史可追溯到20世纪初。众所周知，阳光具有治疗价值，但也可能导致诸如灼伤和致癌等有害影响。广泛的研究拓展了我们对紫外线辐射及其在人体系统中作用的理解，并促使人们开发出更精确、更安全且更有效的人造紫外线光源，用于治疗多种皮肤病。
