Phototherapy

Phototherapy, also known as light therapy, is a medical treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to treat various skin conditions, mood disorders, and other health issues. It involves exposing the skin or body to light sources that emit ultraviolet (UV) light, visible light, or infrared light, depending on the condition being treated.
