50 years is a long time.. 7 years for me. Davlin changed to Photothera. I don't see a 700 series anymore, it may be comparable to the 600 3D with the 2 side doors. Did you get the casters with it. It weighs 150 lbs so to heavy for me to pick up. I deciding between the 6003D or the single panel 600 LT which is 40 lbs so much lighter. I've been going to light treatment 2-3 days a week so having a unit at home will save time and gas. Do you use creams/ointments? I'm also taking Ritfulo oral capsules which has help quite a bit.

I have a Daavlin 700 series home unit. I have had it about 3 years. It’s the only thing that helped my 50+ years of vitiligo. It’s about 6 feet tall with doors so when it’s closed it doesn’t take up too much space.

Are you asking if anyone uses the Photothera 600 3D home light therapy device?

Photothera is the brand that emerged from the merger of National Biological and Daavlin, two leading manufacturers that dermatologists have recommended for home phototherapy devices. These companies are known for producing quality equipment with the same bulbs and safety standards used in dermatology offices.

Home phototherapy can be a fantastic option for treating vitiligo. Many people successfully use these devices at home with dermatologist guidance. The key benefits include:

- Flexibility to treat on your own schedule
- No need for frequent office visits
- One-time purchase for long-term use
- Better treatment consistency since you control the routine

A full-panel device (around 7 feet) typically costs between $5,000-$6,000. While this seems expensive, it's a one-time investment you can use for years. The bulbs may eventually need replacing, but that's much less costly than the initial purchase.

Keep in mind that insurance often won't cover home units, even though they may cover in-office treatments. You'll also need ongoing dermatologist support to program safe dosage settings and monitor your progress.

If you're considering this device, connecting with others on MyVitiligoTeam who use home phototherapy could provide helpful real-world insights about their experiences.
