Photopheresis Clinic
Photopheresis treatment can improve symptoms by treating white blood cells with ultraviolet-A (UVA) light. During a photopheresis treatment, a patient is connected to an instrument that collects white blood cells. These white blood cells are treated with medication that is then activated by brief exposure to UVA light. The treated blood cells are then promptly returned to the patient’s bloodstream.
