Many of them left me feedback and you can ask them. The exposure to the UVB light of the lamp should start from 1/2 minute. Every day you need to increase the exposure time by 1/2 minute, until you reach the time that makes your skin a bit pink, and stay at that time. The correct time depends on your skin sensitivity and is between 1 and 5 minute After reaching the correct time, the spots will start to disappear. For some people the cure is forever, for some it will return after half a year, and some needs to use the lamp every week. The FDA approval for this lamp (PLL36W/01) for treating Vitiligo: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf2/k021092.pdf . The bulb is narrowband type that is considered very safe and effective. Narrow-band ultraviolet B is a useful and well-tolerated treatment for vitiligo. Patients with Vitiligo for 1 year achieved 75% re-pigmentation after 20 treatments. Patients with Vitiligo for 10 year achieved 45% re-pigmentation after 50 treatments. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=11369913&dopt=Abstract We report our experience with UVB narrowband therapy in children affected by vitiligo. 80% had a satisfactory response to phototherapy. Some areas responded better than others did; the best results were shown on the face and neck. UVB NB therapy is a valuable and safe option for the treatment of pediatric vitiligo, and should be started as soon as possible. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15916579&query_hl=11&itool=pubmed_docsum The exposure area of this unit is 20" X 12" (50 X 30 cm).
