UVB Lamp for Vitiligo

For those looking for an effective home treatment for vitiligo, our range of domestic Narrowband UVB light therapy units are an ideal solution. We understand that for many who suffer from vitiligo, attending regular treatment sessions can be costly and inconvenient, which is why we have brought the market-leading technology to you.

Narrowband UVB phototherapy, is a well-established therapy used within the NHS and by dermatologists world-wide, who prescribe it for the treatment of a range of skin conditions including psoriasis, v and eczema.

From handheld units to full body canopies, here at MBS we ensure all of our light therapy units use Philips TL01 and PL01 lamps, the very same that are used in hospitals and clinics across the world.

Narrowband UVB light treatment is a very successful treatment for those with vitiligo. Please follow the link to view a video explaining how effective Narrowband UVB light treatment can be. This follows a patient’s journey receiving light therapy for vitiligo as prescribed by the University of Massachusetts Dermatologists.

Also, specifically for Vitiligo, the University of Nottingham under the auspices of the NHS performed similar trials of home based Vitiligo treatment using Hand-Held devices. As a consequence they produced a sequence of videos which show you exactly how a handheld UVB device was used to treat Vitiligo at home.

Whilst light therapy for vitiligo is one of the most popular forms of treatment, it is important to note that it cannot cure the condition. This type of vitiligo treatment at home must be performed frequently, between 2-3 times a week to maintain results, and caution must be taken as excessive use can come with some risks such as burning and an increased risk of skin cancer.

Some of the benefits of treating vitiligo with light therapy include:

Convenience – save time and money by treating your vitiligo at home, no need to travel to appointments.
Safe – UVB treatment for vitiligo is widely considered to be amongst the safest and most effective ways of reducing symptoms.
Investment – our range of UV lamps for vitiligo vary from handheld to full body so that you can find a solution, no matter what your budget. They are each built to last for many years, and so make a great investment for long-term treatment.

If you’re looking for an effective vitiligo treatment at home, our UVB lamp units offer between 50-90% efficacy in reducing the symptoms of vitiligo, so it’s worth getting in touch with one of our team to discuss your specific requirements.

As a 10 year old I was diagnosed with severe psoriasis and spent 6 weeks in hospital - treated with coal tar ointment and UVB therapy. I even attended the hospital school wrapped up like an Egyptian mummy in bandages made from old hospital sheets - it was 1958. Fast forward to adulthood - living with only arms and lower legs affected. Luckier than many I know. Then came the Pfizer vaccine booster and within weeks I had psoriasis everywhere. With long NHS waiting times to see a dermatologist, I was lucky to be able to pay for a private appointment. I was prescribed Enstillar and Exorex and referred to the hospital for phototherapy. The lotions helped but I knew they would need to be forever to keep the psoriasis under control. I joined a psoriasis forum online and read about UVB treatment - both hospital and home therapy units. I got nowhere near the top of the waiting list for hospital phototherapy so I phoned MBS after reading excellent reviews on the site. I spoke to Ross and armed with all the information I needed I opted to buy the 9 tube model. On 5th March this year the unit arrived, was unpacked and put together by the driver who knew all about the unit - he gave me safety instructions re: moving the unit if I needed to etc. I used it for the first time before he was back in his van! I had decided to test the efficacy of the unit by not using the Enstillar and Exorex. I followed the instructions in the manual to the letter, taking no chances. No creams beforehand, but moisturiser afterwards if I needed it - I only used Doublebase on my skin then and still do. As instructed I used the unit alternate days and was very patient - at 4 weeks my husband noticed the change in the lesions on my back - less angry, and skin smoother. It was a great moment. The progress continued a pace from there and by 12 weeks I was clear of all the lesions, with smooth skin and the bonus of a very slight tan. I am now using the unit twice a week, and may drop down to once if it goes well and no lesions start to appear. This was a considered purchase for me, and I made changes to be able to buy it. It's the best thing I could have done for myself and my skin - to be free of psoriasis for the first time is amazing. I would highly recommend MBS for no pressure, pre purchase advice, the unit itself.

I ordered a UVB phototherapy unit with 9 tubes in it from MBS. From the very beginning, the service was nothing other than absolutely top class, taking me through the various products that they have. They were also very patient with me in assisting getting the product shipped to me in Gibraltar. The unit did its job and my psoriasis has now disappeared almost completely! Roy is always available to assist with any questions. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough!

I have psoriasis on my forehead. Since my hand held unit arrived on the 23rd April I have seen a massive improvement. No more angry red, flaking itchy patches. Just smooth slightly pink skin. Truly amazing and very very happy. Thank you so much MBS

Honestly I cannot thank Roy enough, from the bottom of my heart his knowledge and authenticity. My young son suffers from TSW Topical Steriod Withdrawal and now he is starting to heal and come out the other side. The narrow band handheld machine has supported his healing. Obviously anyone who is suffering knows there is no quick fix but this has help significantly and started to give us hope for the future where he's able to control his condition.

Have suffered with psoriasis from my early 20s, have tried many creams and steroid creams over the years which have worked short term. Was referred to the puva treatment at local hospital which cleared my skin but then found long waiting time to repeat treatment. My brother who also suffers from psoriasis purchased a 9 tube bed from MBS of which I borrowed before going on holiday. Over a 9 week period it completely cleared . I got In touch with mbs and after a very helpful and explanatory phone call I purchased the same 9 tube bed. No more stress and worrying about treatment and appointments which can now be done in the comfort of my own home.100% MBS thank you for all your help and guidance to the correct treatment bed .
