We at Vitiligo
Clinic, www.vitiligoclinic.co.za
have spent the last year in the manufacture of our
UV-B 'Desktop Lamp Unit'. This lamp has evolved from requests by our
customers who have found it to be very effective in the
treatment of Vitiligo.

The lamp has a 'tilt
and turn' feature allowing you to direct the rays to
your face, or arms without having to move the base around.
It is lightweight, and portable.
This lamp is ideal
for the user who requires a more 'controlled' treatment. It
can be used indoors, and in the office. Treatment times with
the DermaBest® Novitil® cream
applied varies from approx 30 seconds to a minute,
depending on your skin type and the distance of the lamp
from the effected areas. UV-B protection Gogs come standard
with the unit, and it also includes a 'Count Down
Timer' to make sure that the user does not 'overexpose'
themselves to the UV-B rays. As this is a support site, we
have kept the cost of this unit down to a
minimum.
The UVB Narrow
Band is a “narrow band” of wavelengths centered at
roughly 311nm.
UVB Narrow Band
causes less sun burning or erythermal effect than other
treatments and is fast becoming the recommended treatment .
Today UVB Narrow
Band technology is proving to be very useful in the
treatment of Vitiligo and Psoriasis.
UVB Narrow Band
therapy has been used in
Europe
since the mid-1980. There has not been any evidence that it
causes an increase in skin cancer. However, because
long-term expose to ultraviolet light in general is known to
cause skin cancer, patients who choose this therapy should
do so only under the direct supervision of their 'Dermatologist'.
Note that extreme
caution is required when using this lamp. Please see your dermatologist regarding your skin type
factor, and the amount of exposure required for your
individual needs. Please don't hesitate to contact us
regarding this lamp. |
