This lamp is intended for management of skin conditions responsive to narrow-band UVB phototherapy, most commonly psoriasis and vitiligo. It is designed for targeted, localized treatment and is typically used as part of a treatment plan under medical supervision.
The device is a narrow-band UVB (nUVB) unit specified at 311 nm in the product specifications. (Note: excimer laser therapies often use 308 nm, which is a different technology; this model is specified as 311 nm nUVB.)
The lamp is designed and classified as a Class II instrument for home use and includes safety features. However, phototherapy carries risks (burning, skin aging, eye damage). You should use it only according to instructions and under the guidance of a dermatologist or qualified healthcare professional.
Always wear appropriate UV-protective goggles during treatment and cover or shield any unaffected skin, mucous membranes, and eyes. Do not look directly at the light source. Follow all safety instructions provided with the device.
Treatment frequency and duration depend on individual skin type, condition severity, and prior phototherapy exposure. Typical regimens are determined by a dermatologist. Do not self-prescribe; start with professional guidance to avoid overexposure and burns.
This portable lamp is optimized for localized or limited-area treatment (hands, elbows, face patches, etc.). It is not designed for efficient full-body phototherapy. For extensive disease, consult your clinician about appropriate options.
Yes. Contraindications include a personal or family history of photosensitivity disorders, active skin cancer, recent use of photosensitizing medications (such as certain antibiotics, retinoids, or psoralens), lupus or porphyria, and recent excessive UV exposure. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should consult their physician. Always discuss your medical history with your provider before starting phototherapy.
Common side effects include erythema (redness), mild burning or itching, and dry skin. Repeated exposure can increase risk of photoaging and, over long term, may increase skin cancer risk. Report severe reactions or blistering to your healthcare provider immediately.
The lamp is mains-powered with a power rating of 60 VA. It is a Class II (double-insulated) electrical appliance and does not require an earth/ground connection in normal use. Always use the supplied power cord and follow local electrical safety guidelines.
The unit is lightweight and designed for easy handling, weighing approximately 1.6 kg. Its compact design makes it convenient for home use and travel, but it remains a mains-powered medical device.
Turn off and unplug the lamp before cleaning. Wipe external surfaces and the lamp window gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners and liquids entering the device. Do not open the housing. For lamp replacement or internal service, contact technical support.
LED lifetimes vary by use but are generally long. Specific lifetime and replacement options are not listed in the basic specs; contact the seller or manufacturer's technical support for lamp life expectancy, service, and replacement part availability.
It is listed as a Class II instrument, which indicates regulatory oversight in many jurisdictions. Whether a prescription is required depends on local regulations. Regardless of regulation, it is recommended to use phototherapy under medical supervision.
The product description mentions online technical support. Warranty terms (duration and coverage) are seller-dependent—check the vendor's warranty statement or contact customer service for details, repair procedures, and return policies.
