Equipment Selection Guide
     Choosing the Right Home Phototherapy Unit is easy:

1. Which area of the body is affected?

2. Do you need UVA, UVB, or narrowband UVB lights?

  • Your doctor will decide the right wavelength for your skin and condition, but...
  • UVA light is used with psoralen (PUVA), has longer treatment times, requires more doctor visits to monitor treatment, but is sometimes the most effective
  • UVB light is generally safer and easier than UVA. Units cost a bit more, but you save with fewer co-pays and less time.
  • Narrow band UVB lights are safest and fastest but may not always be appropriate for your condition.  Learn more about narrow band UVB.

3. How many lamps?  More bulbs give a higher dosage, so treatment time is quicker. However, your doctor will determine which is best for your condition and skin type.

5. Which full body style will meet my needs?

  • The Foldalite™ III is 50% roomier than any other full-body cabinet on the market today, yet folds flat to 9”. Treat entire body at once.  Available with narrow band UVB lights only.
  • 6' Panosol™ II panel takes less space and costs less, but does not provide full circumference coverage. It is ideal for partial involvement such torso or back. For a full body involvement, you can turn a time or two to get a complete treatment. Adding wings to the Panosol II extends the coverage area to your sides. Available with UVA lamps, UVB lamps, or narrow band UVB lights.

6. What skin condition are you being treated for?

Most doctors recommend narrowband UVB lights for phototherapy vitiligo treatment and psoriasis phototherapy treatment, but there are many reasons that your doctor could opt for either UVA lamps or broadband UVB lamps for you. Check with your doctor regarding your particular condition, history, as well as the latest research.
