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 is 1-5 minutes, depending on on your skin. 2-4 weeks after reaching the correct time, the skin starts to generate the color. You will first see tiny brown dots and later they will increase their diameter and fill the whole area. The cure is faster on the face and neck, and takes more time for the hands or legs. The FDA approval for this lamp (PLL36W/01) for treating Vitiligo http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/pdf2/k021092.pdf 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 A clinic in Canada that treats Vitiligo with these lamps: http://www.dermweb.com/skincare/psoriasis/ The exposure area is 6" X 6"  ,15 X 15 centimeters.
