Do not do laser, it can increase the vitiligo. And not red or blue also.

Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) Phototherapy

Gainesville, GA

I have not discussed this with any doctor because it scares me. However I have the question of whether this is to return the skin color and is it an ongoing treatment? Is it expensive treatment?

Thank you,
Martina.

Has Anyone Else Ordered A Home Phototherapy "machine"?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Clinton Township, MI

Dr. Lim just approved this for me as it is 40 minutes to treatment each way and getting harder with work. I am just wondering if it will be a big machine as well, how would I operate it alone, and where would I put it?

Would love to hear from someone who has done this.

And - I am not even sure yet if my insurance will cover it yet.

Have a great day!
