BACKGROUND: Ultraviolet (UV) light (Wood's light) has been used since 1903 to document alterations in the pigment of the skin. The development of standard UV photographic methods has allowed better opportunities for patient education and the monitoring of their therapeutic progress.
OBJECTIVE: To incorporate standardized UV photography into our cosmetic dermatology practice as a tool for patient teaching and monitoring therapeutic programs.
METHODS: Patients with Fitzpatrick Type I to III skin types were photographed with visible and ultraviolet light. The resultant photographic prints were discussed with the patient. When appropriate, therapeutic programs to reverse the findings were instituted for these patients. Follow-up photographs were used to document changes.
RESULTS: The UV camera became a useful tool in our practice. One picture was worth a thousand words. The UV camera documented pigment changes, melasma, vitiligo, and posttraumatic or postsurgical hypopigmentation. The UV camera was also useful to monitor treatment programs designed to redistribute the pigment.
CONCLUSION: The UV camera should become an integral part of sun damage detection both in the physician's office and in the community. Not only does the camera document pigmentary changes but it also demonstrates improvement after therapeutic intervention.
