Phototherapy at home

[Kat]

Afraid I don't know much about them. I did have the UV treatments at the doctor's office and I was told by my dermatologist after finishing those that although they normally don't recommend them, a tanning bed can help. I thought about having something at home (a small unit), but I've heard that the ones you can buy for home are just not as effective and rarely worth the money. I think if I were to ever take that route, I'd want to discuss it with a trusted doctor or even nurse to get their opinion on it. They could at least advise on strength of the light needed and by knowing your skin type offer advice for how long to start, etc.

But.... good luck and if you buy a home unit I hope it works for you!
