Phototherapy Request Form
We are able to provide the following phototherapy services:
a) Full body narrow-band UVB, using a half-body unit which enables us to treat children, claustrophobic people, and those who need support during treatment or pauses during treatment.
b) Small area broad-band UVA (e.g., hand or foot PUVA)
c) Targeted broad-band UVB (for high dose treatment to localised areas).
d) blue light treatment for acne
Any medical practitioner can refer patients for blue light therapy. Other forms of phototherapy require referral from a dermatologist, who is responsible for excluding any contraindications, discussion of treatment expectations, side effects and follow-up.

Phototesting
We are able to determine minimal erythema doses (MED's) for UVA and UVB. We always determine a UVA MED as part of photopatch testing, but you can request phototesting separately as part of an investigation of photosensitivity.
