Consiste em exposição à radiação não ionizante, classificada em UVA ou UVB segundo seu comprimento de onda.  Material e Métodos:  Efectuámos um estudo observacional, transversal e descritivo no setor de fototerapia do Serviço de Dermatologia de um hospital universitário com o objectivo de avaliar os dados epidemiológicos e o grau de satisfação dos doentes.  Resultados:  Foram incluídos 51 indivíduos, 69% eram do sexo feminino com uma idade média de 49 anos. As dermatoses em tratamento mais prevalentes durante a pesquisa foram: o vitiligo, com 62,5% dos pacientes, e em segundo lugar a micose fungoide, com 13,73%. Em relação ao nível de satisfação com o tratamento, mais de 90% se declararam satisfeitos/muito satisfeitos.  Discussão:  A prevalência de mulheres e fototipos mais baixos foi concordante com a literatura. A predominância de idosos nesse estudo corroborada com outros trabalhos e pode ser justificada pela presença de comorbidades, e assim contraindicações aos tratamentos convencionais além de maior disponibilidade de tempo do paciente. Em alguns casos a dermatose mais prevalente foi a psoríase, diferindo do nosso estudo. A segunda dermatose mais prevalente em nosso estudo foi a micose fungoide, o que difere de outros estudos nos quais a segunda dermatose mais prevalente foi a psoríase ou o vitiligo.  Conclusão: Estudos como este são necessários para o planejamento tanto dos serviços que já dispõem dessa modalidade terapêutica quanto das unidades que desejam implantá-la. Nossos resultados não são integralmente convergentes com os da literatura publicada já que atualmente existem novas opções para o tratamento da psoríase.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction: Phototherapy is a therapeutic modality used to treat various dermatoses. It consists of exposure to non-ionizing radiation, classified as UVA or UVB according to its wavelength.  Material and Methods:  This is an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out in the phototherapy sector of the Dermatology Service of a university hospital with the objective of characterizing the population under treatment and their degree of satisfaction. Results: Fifty-one individuals were included of whom 69% were female, with a mean age of 49 years. The most prevalent dermatoses under treatment during the research were: vitiligo (62.5%), and mycosis fungoides (13.73%). Regarding the level of satisfaction with treatment, more than 90% declared themselves satisfied/very satisfied.  Discussion:  The prevalence of women and lower phototypes was consistent with the literature. The predominance of the elderly in this study corroborated by other studies may be justified by the presence of comorbidities, and contraindication to conventional treatments beside more time available for the treatment. In some cases, the most prevalent dermatosis was psoriasis, differing from our study. The second most prevalent dermatosis in our study was mycosis fungoides, which also differs from the studies found that described psoriasis or vitiligo as the second most prevalent dermatosis.  Conclusion:  Studies such as this one are necessary for the planning both the departments that already have this therapeutic modality and those that wish to implement it. Our results are not fully convergent with those of the literature as nowadays there are new options for the treatment of psoriasis.]]></p></abstract>
