How Long To Use UVB Light for Vitiligo?

Many Vitiligo patients are unsure about the duration of exposure when they receive a UVB therapy device. We have provided written instructions, illustrated instructions, and animated instructions on how to use it for the first time, but some people still do not understand.

So today, we will provide a explanation. First, it is important to understand that all treatments are a gradual process and there are no shortcuts. Do not rush the light therapy. Let's learn how to use the UVB light therapy device with 9W NV-UVB Philips bulb together. https://www.youwemed.com/UVB-Phototherapy-Lamp-BU-1-pd743906988.html

1. Before treatment, clean the affected area and let it dry before exposure. (After cleaning, you can apply topical medication as instructed by your doctor before exposure.)

2. When exposing, wear UV protective goggles. Use blackout cloth or apply sunscreen (SPF30 or above) to cover normal skin that does not need exposure. After treatment, you can apply moisturizer or ointment.

3. The exposure time is once every other day. For adults, the initial exposure time is set to 30 seconds. (For children, the initial exposure time is set to 15 seconds.) The next day after exposure, observe the skin's reaction. If there is a slight redness, it means the exposure time is appropriate. Maintain this time for future exposures. If there is no reaction, increase the exposure time by around 10-15 seconds. If there is severe redness and pain, stop the exposure and reduce the exposure time by 30%-50% after complete recovery.

4. The light therapy device should be placed close to the skin and at a fixed distance 3cm.
