Did you Know?
The use of phototherapy has become more popular with celebrities such as Lena Dunham, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Kardashian, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba. They most commonly use it to tackle acne, psoriasis, vitiligo and eczema.
What is Phototherapy?
The canopy can be used horizontally or vertically, you can choose to have the treatment standing up or lying down allowing you to position your body directly in front of it, moving your body to treat the main problem areas in its light. It works at a cellular level using the therapeutic wavelength of 311nm to reduce skin inflammation, as well as killing bacteria, increasing vitamin D levels, doubly fighting back against the symptoms of such skin conditions.
How do we Know it Actually Works?
Whilst celebrity endorsement can illustrate the ability of UVB light therapy, it is also worth noting that both doctors and dermatologists recommend phototherapy, and it is used in hospitals and clinics across the globe. Having access to a narrowband canopy at home means that you can regularly use the treatment in a way that is easy and convenient. It is not a magic wand, but with regular treatment sessions, you should see a vast improvement within 4 to 8 weeks.
