The method includes providing a source of non-ionizing terahertz radiation and exposing skin cells to the non-ionizing terahertz radiation in amount sufficient to modulate gene expression in the skin cells. The modulation of gene expression then results in a reduction of the disease state in the exposed skin cells. 0 515.003PRV 2013-061
