Doctors know that UV light relieves skin problems, but how? Vitamin D activation cannot account for the effect. It is now known that UV activates a group of genes called stress-genes, which produce stress proteins. These proteins may be responsible for keeping the skin healthy and beautiful, and effectively clear up skin problems.
UV is not the ideal means to activate stress-genes. It causes skin-cancer. Many other forms of energy have been found to be not only more powerful than UV in activating stress-genes, but also more effective at clearing up skin problems.
