Saalmann Medical Philips UVB Phototherapy lamp for Psoriasis

Description

We are proud to present the Saalmann Medical Philips UVB lamp for Psoriasis, Saalux® by Saalmann a German Medical Device Manufacturer. This top quality state of the art device is ideal for treating small patches of psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema and other conditions which respond to n-UVB phototherapy.

The narrowband UVB light source is a 311nm Philips PL01 9w tube.
The unit comes with a removable comb attachment and is ideal for treating the scalp and other small areas.
Simply place the light close to the affected area and use 4 or 5 times per week.
Most users see results after 4-6 weeks of a strictly maintained treatment regime.
4 Year (Private use) manufacturer’s warranty.

The Saalmann Medical UVB Phototherapy lamp is ideal for treatment where the condition is limited to small areas. For example where Psoriasis plaques are limited to small areas on hands, joints or the scalp, or, in the case of Vitiligo, small areas of de-pigmentation.

The Saalmann Medical UVB Phototherapy lamp unit is small and portable. At MBS we specialise in n-UVB phototherapy devices for domestic use, but our other units are designed to be used in your home and are not portable. You will be able to take this unit with you if you are travelling and thereby benefit from continuity of treatment that n-UVB phototherapy requires.

The unit is discreet, being of a similar size to a pair of hair-tongs. For someone who travels frequently, a student, or someone sharing accommodation, the device is completely inconspicuous and can be used to continue your treatment regime wherever you may be, in complete privacy.

Narrowband UVB outpatient treatment using hand-held devices is widely used within the NHS for treatment of Psoriasis and Vitiligo.
Specifically for Vitiligo, the University of Nottingham under the auspices of the NHS performed trials of home based Vitiligo treatment using Hand-Held devices. They produced a sequence of videos which show you exactly how a hand-held UVB device was used to treat Vitiligo at home. NHS Scotland (Tayside Health Authority) also run a program for outpatient use of hand-held phototherapy devices for their patients.

At MBS we specialise in narrowband UVB phototherapy devices for domestic use. From cabinets designed to replicate those used in Hospitals and the NHS through to these hand-held units, our units will enable to manage your condition with the same treatment you would receive in the NHS in the convenience & comfort of your own home.

This is an extremely high-quality n-UVB phototherapy device, manufactured in Germany by a market leading Medical Device Manufacturer and fitted, at manufacture, with a genuine Philips PL01 9w UVB narrowband tube. The tube is certified for 500 hours use and the device & tube carry a manufacturer’s warranty of 4 years of personal use.

The device comes fitted with a UK plug and supplied with timer and goggles.

Please note that the Saalmann Medical UVB Phototherapy lamp is limited in one respect only, it’s size. if large areas of your skin have been affected by your condition, you will have to repeatedly move the light face of the device to cover the whole area. In addition, where your condition affects areas which are awkward to reach, for example your back or shoulders we would suggest that you look at our other larger models.

We have seen competitor n-UVB devices of similar size, mounted via clamps or stands seeking to alleviate the problems mentioned above. However, we would suggest that you consider the fact that hand held devices such as ours and those of our competitors are designed to be used at very close proximity to the skin. Again, we would stress that if you are seeking to treat larger areas, or areas that are hard to reach, you would be best advised to evaluate our other units which have bigger light faces designed to cover much larger areas, with the light source further from the skin. With this device , that distance from the skin is set by the comb attachment. Holding or mounting the device further away from the skin decreases the efficacy of the treatment as stated by the Medical Equipment manufacturer.

Our suggestion would be that if your condition covers larger areas or areas that are more awkward to reach with a hand-held device, you look at our larger units, such as the Mini-Unit on stand which are designed for the purpose with larger light faces and lamps.

We would emphasise the fact that this is a genuine UVB phototherapy device manufactured to the highest standards by a German Medical Device manufacturer, designed for the purpose of treating skin conditions which respond to n-UVB light such as Psoriasis, Vitiligo and Eczema. Please be wary of purchasing devices which are not built to the same standards as there are cheaper products advertised for phototherapy treatment which are desk lamps that have been converted to use a Philips bulb. Buy your product from a trusted source as cheaper imported products are available as well as fake Philips lamps.

If you do your research you will establish that there are only a few Medical Device Manufacturers in the world who produce these phototherapy devices. We are proud to represent one of them and confident that your purchase with us will afford you the highest standard of treatment for your condition.

At MBS we specialise in narrowband UVB phototherapy devices for domestic use. From cabinets designed to replicate those used in Hospitals and the NHS through to these hand-held units, our units will enable you to manage your condition with the same phototherapy treatment you would receive in the NHS in the convenience & comfort of your own home.

My daughter had nasty psoriasis, following a throat infection. At only 18 this impacted her terribly. MBS were brilliant. They delivered the light for hire within 4 weeks (I know they now have a longer waiting list) and after 10 weeks she is psoriasis free. The whole process was seamless and I’m so grateful. THANK YOU!

I have been using a Narrowband UVB lamp from MBS, and both their product and customer service is outstanding. I recently needed some help with the product and Roy dealt with me extremely efficiently. Highly recommended!

Top marks for MBS. Roy was firstly able to offer me lots of advice on the unit I was buying and made it clear he was available anytime to go over any queries . The unit arrived sooner than he stated and we were able to use it immediately. My son’s psoriasis responds very quickly to light treatment and after two weeks there were noticeable signs of improvement. He has been using it for a month following the guidelines for use, and he is delighted with the results. He has previously had treatment through NHS, but this is not available when you most need it. Although this was a big cost to us, I am absolutely happy we afforded it as we are now able to keep on top of future breakouts. And thank you Roy for a follow up call and great customer relations.

I highly recommend MBS. I have had psoriasis for over 10 years and have had phototherapy once before previously at a hospital. I was at first reluctant to hire a unit rather than go through the nhs again. However, with waiting lists over a year long i enquired about hiring the 9 tube canopy unit and Roy got in touch straight away. The detailed information provided immediately put me at ease and the service was excellent with Roy able to deliver the unit within a few days. I had been relying on different topical creams including enstillar, but they never completely cleared my psoriasis and i was concerned about what the long term effects could be. The light therapy, as well as being much less time consuming, has worked so much better than the topical creams. My skin is now completely clear for the first time in years. I would not hesitate to use MBS again.

Both myself and my daughter have psoriasis. Generally, my psoriasis is calm but I react to strep infection which results in a sudden flare up of guttate psoriasis which covers me from head to toe and is awful. I have had light therapy at the Mater Hospital and Beaumont – so I know how effectively it works. Now, age 54, after another flare-up, I did some research, found nowhere in Ireland that sold UV lamps, and came across MBS. In short, I think they are the best – their lamps are all "hospital-grade" and Roy is knowledgable about how they all work for particular skin types and severity of skin disorders. It was great to actually talk to a "real person" about it all. So, I took the plunge and made the investment in a full size, 7-UVB-canopy lamp. That was 8 weeks ago, I started at 30 secs, increasing slowly to 2.5 mins. It works immediately –(I knew it would)– the itching calms down first, then slowly the legions get flatter, then they fade to pink and then are gone. My face and upper body cleared within a few weeks. The more stubborn lower legs are almost disappeared at this stage. My daughter has plaque psoriasis almost constantly. (It breaks my heart.) In the summer, we always try to get out in the sun, which is amazing. She had been using tanning salon sunbeds quite a lot, which is not ideal. I am really glad now to have a proper therapeutic lamp in our own home to use exactly when we need it, no waiting on referrals and no long treks to the hospital every second morning. Yes, it was a substantial investment, but there is massive peace-of-mind having it here at home, knowing it is effective and not having to depend on ointments. Myself and my husband collected our unit from Roy in Warrington. It fitted in the back of our estate car. Trip went very smoothly! I highly recommend.

I’ve suffered from Psoriasis for over 40 years; I had a major flare up a few months ago after contracting Covid (the sore throat which accompanied this was a trigger). After trying the usual steroid ointments and various creams nothing was really helping and by this time 75% of my body was covered in painful plaques and the itching accompanying this was unbearable and it severely impacted my life. I had previously had UVB treatment at my local hospital which had been very successful in alleviating my condition, however this option was not open to me due the length of the waiting list and I was told I would have to wait until early next year to have more phototherapy. I did some research online and found Much Better Skin; after a call to Roy who was very helpful I ordered a unit and it arrived a couple of weeks later. Approximately 8 weeks later my skin is now completely clear - I felt the benefits after just a few sessions and the awful itching had lessened considerably. I honestly can’t recommend this unit highly enough - it’s given me my life back and although the canopy isn’t cheap it is worth every penny paid. I now have the peace of mind that when I have an inevitable flare up in the future I’ll be able to treat myself at home right away.

It's time to make Roy blush again! I don't normally leave reviews but I just had to share my experience with MBS. This company is more than 5 stars in my opinion. My first conversation with Roy, I tried my luck and called on a Sunday afternoon; to my wonderful surprise Roy answered the call. I will be forever grateful that he did. After Roy ascertaining my needs on that call, such as the extent and coverage of the Psoriasis, I placed my order for the 9 tube Philips light unit the next morning. I received my unit within the month as explained. The delivery driver's clearly have the same work ethic as Roy as they were very informative regarding the use of the system and left me with some top tips for great results. I am currently 10 sessions in and for the first time since I was 18 (currently 45!) my skin is flat, I don't make it snow where ever I go! (if you know you know!), I knew I had exhausted the list of endless creams from the doctors that haven't worked and I knew I didn't want to go to the next stage the biological injections, so I did some research and found my saviour MBS & Roy! My review doesn't end there; I was further blown away by receiving a welfare call from Roy checking how everything was going, this level of customer service and satisfaction is rare nowadays and with such a delicate subject matter it has cemented my thoughts regarding what an amazing service this company provides, not only is my skin transforming before my eyes but my mental health is also being cared for by this company. A million thankyou's.

Very helpful regarding ordering and quick professional delivery and unpacking. I have had psoriasis since having tonsillitis over 10 years ago. My skin is the best it has been thanks to the 9 tube curved phototherapy unit. It is large and expensive. It us quick to use and a lot easier than using creams or hand held nuvb devices. If you can afford it, I would recommend buying it. Thus is the same kind of device as you would get in hospital. Be careful when starting as it is easy to get burned. I have not developed a tan but can show my skin in public.

Absolutely top service from MBS. Ordered a medical grade sun lamp for my daughter and they took my details as there was a waiting list. As soon as one came available (much earlier than I expected) they called me and I went to get it the next day. You can rent it and renew easily (they phone you) and my daughters psoriasis has cleared up completely. Much more reasonable than buying one and a pleasure to deal with the Company. Would highly recommend.
