Résumé

Although phototherapy is an effective treatment for many dermatological conditions on the face, trunk, and proximal extremities, a common issue plaguing whole-body phototherapy is its diminished efficacy on the legs. In this commentary, we elaborate on the factors underlying this phenomenon, as well as potential solutions to improve treatment success.
