The ultraviolet (UV) band has a wavelength ranging from 10 to 400 nm. When intense UV radiation with shorter wavelengths strikes a target chromophore, visible light (VL) with a longer wavelength and lower energy is produced in the skin. This VL is apparent to the naked eye and is referred to as fluorescence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current review compares ultraviolet fluorescence dermoscopy (UVFD) and polarized dermoscopy (PD) features in various dermatological disorders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This review was performed in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metanalyses) guidelines.

This is the first systematic review of its sort that compares and categorizes dermoscopic findings in UVF and polarized light in dermatological practice. As UVFD does not penetrate deeper skin layers, we observed that it is a better way to distinguish features restricted to the skin\u2019s superficial layers in neoplastic diseases. As a result, tumor-free margins and improved surgical outcomes can be achieved. More favorable outcomes for evaluation and treatment were seen with non-neoplastic conditions. Limitations included a lack of studies with a high level of evidence, control groups, and larger sample sizes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We concluded that UVFD will improve clinical diagnosis, disease management, and outcomes.
