How does Skinuvita work?

Skin conditions like dermatitis, psoriasis, or hand eczema arise because the immune system is overly active and causes inflammations. This is where phototherapy comes in.

Phototherapy uses a natural component of sunlight; the so-called narrow band UVB. More specifically: light with a wave length of 311 nm is used to target the defence cells in your skin to calm down your immune system. This reduces inflammation, so symptoms like redness, itchiness, scaling, and cracked skin can be noticeably inhibited.

Phototherapy is a gentle and proven method that has been successfully used for decades to sustainably support the skin.

Our History

When Jan Elsner was diagnosed with psoriasis 25 years ago, his long journey toward finding the right treatment started. Phototherapy always gave him the best results, but the constant visits to the doctor’s office took a lot of time and were hard to integrate into his every day life. Medication with strong side effects was not an option for him.

In 2019, this need for a flexible form of treatment sparked a vision: Phototherapy that adapts to your life and not the other way around. Together with Maria, Till, Jens and Janina, Jan founded Skinuvita as a Spin-Off of the University of Bremen. Their goal? Flexible phototherapy that can be done from the comfort of your own home - no more worries about appointments, while maintaining doctoral supervision.

Today exactly that is possible. Skinuvita brings the proven reliability of phototherapy into your home. Easy, safe, and supported by doctors through our app. This way you can integrate the treatment into your daily life without taking away from its medical quality. Our team is constantly growing and we have a clear goal in mind: Rethinking skin health - so that treatment finally becomes as flexible as life itself.
