A compact handheld phototherapy device (model YK-6000AB) that emits 308 nm narrowband UVB light for at-home management of skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis and eczema. Size: 147 × 28 × 28 mm. CE certified.
308 nm is a targeted narrowband UVB wavelength that reduces local skin inflammation and can stimulate repigmentation processes in vitiligo and reduce plaques in psoriasis. It is a commonly used clinical phototherapy wavelength but should be used under medical guidance.
The device is CE certified for safety, but safe use requires following the user manual and a treatment plan from a dermatologist. Incorrect use can cause burns, hyperpigmentation or other side effects.
People with dermatologist-confirmed vitiligo, psoriasis or eczema who have been advised that targeted UVB phototherapy is appropriate. Do not use on suspicious lesions, active infections, open wounds, or if you have photosensitive disorders or a history of skin cancer without physician approval.
General steps: have a dermatologist prescribe a regimen; perform a small patch test first; clean and dry the treatment area; protect eyes with suitable goggles; cover surrounding healthy skin; apply the lamp as instructed for the recommended duration and frequency. Always follow the device manual and medical advice.
Frequency and duration vary by condition, skin type and medical guidance. Typical clinical regimens are often multiple times per week, but you must follow a dermatologist's prescription. Start with very short exposures (patch test) and only increase per professional guidance.
Response varies widely. Some users see improvement in weeks, others in months. Progress depends on disease type, lesion size, treatment consistency and individual response. Discuss realistic expectations with your dermatologist.
Common side effects include redness, itching, dryness, blistering or temporary hyperpigmentation. If you develop severe pain, blistering, extensive redness or signs of infection, stop treatment and consult your healthcare provider.
Yes. Always wear appropriate UV-protective goggles and avoid directing the beam at the eyes. Protect the eyes even when treating areas near the face.
Facial and neck use may be possible but requires extra caution and dermatologic guidance. Avoid mucous membranes and sensitive areas unless advised by a clinician. Do not treat genitals unless specifically instructed by a physician.
Use in children, pregnant or breastfeeding people should only be done under direct medical supervision. Your dermatologist will weigh potential benefits and risks and provide a tailored plan if appropriate.
Yes. Certain photosensitizing medications (some antibiotics, retinoids, herbal supplements, etc.) and conditions increase risk of adverse reactions. Always inform your prescribing clinician about all medications and medical history before starting phototherapy.
Unplug or power off before cleaning. Wipe the exterior and lamp window with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and mild detergent if recommended in the manual. Do not immerse in water. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
