It depends on the patient, and whether they have a history of flaring after stopping phototherapy. In that setting, maintenance phototherapy (once weekly or sometimes every other week) may be helpful.

NBUVB usually needs to be continued for long-term maintenance. How often depends on patient, but typically weekly treatment will work.
