We understand that for many who suffer from vitiligo, attending regular treatment sessions can be costly and inconvenient, which is why we have brought the market-leading technology to you.
Narrowband UVB phototherapy, is a well-established therapy used within the NHS and by dermatologists world-wide, who prescribe it for the treatment of a range of skin conditions including psoriasis, v and eczema.
From handheld units to full body canopies, here at MBS we ensure all of our light therapy units use Philips TL01 and PL01 lamps, the very same that are used in hospitals and clinics across the world.

This follows a patient’s journey receiving light therapy for vitiligo as prescribed by the University of Massachusetts Dermatologists.
Also, specifically for Vitiligo, the University of Nottingham under the auspices of the NHS performed similar trials of home based Vitiligo treatment using Hand-Held devices. As a consequence they produced a sequence of videos which show you exactly how a handheld UVB device was used to treat Vitiligo at home.
Whilst light therapy for vitiligo is one of the most popular forms of treatment, it is important to note that it cannot cure the condition. This type of vitiligo treatment at home must be performed frequently, between 2-3 times a week to maintain results, and caution must be taken as excessive use can come with some risks such as burning and an increased risk of skin cancer.
Some of the benefits of treating vitiligo with light therapy include:
- Convenience – save time and money by treating your vitiligo at home, no need to travel to appointments.
- Safe – UVB treatment for vitiligo is widely considered to be amongst the safest and most effective ways of reducing symptoms.
- Investment – our range of UV lamps for vitiligo vary from handheld to full body so that you can find a solution, no matter what your budget. They are each built to last for many years, and so make a great investment for long-term treatment.
If you’re looking for an effective vitiligo treatment at home, our UVB lamp units offer between 50-90% efficacy in reducing the symptoms of vitiligo, so it’s worth getting in touch with one of our team to discuss your specific requirements.
