Product Reviews

Shipping was the only thing I wish them to improve
The shipping took about 8 days. I’ve been using the cordless lamp for my vitiligo on the face, neck, and along the hairline. Some areas have already started to show signs of repigmentation after a eight weeks of use.
-
Easy to use
This device is perfect for targeted areas on my scalp. I was nervous at first, but I felt comfortable quickly. After about 2 months, My side hairline had a obvious clear-up. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a non-steroid solution.
-
Psoriasis is manageable!
The psoriasis on my scalp and behind my ears was incredibly annoying. It felt like dandruff, but with itchiness and a tight, uncomfortable scalp. In addition to using Dermarest medicated shampoo, vitamin D cream, and olive oil to keep my scalp moisturized, I got this UV hair comb back in December. Oh man I wish I had found it sooner! The comb attachment is super helpful; without it, your hair blocks the UV light from effectively reaching the scalp. Now, I finally feel like my psoriasis is manageable.
-
Effective and great quality
Durable design. I decided to test it out on my arms, palms, and fingers since February. I understand that consistency is key with this kind of treatment, but I’m happy with the results so far. The raised patches on the backs of my hands and forearms have become thinner. I’m hopeful this wand will help me get through the summer with less dryness and itching.
-
Less itching and flaking
After reading the reviews and comparing different products, I decided to try the 4003BL2D to treat my psoriasis around the hairline—and the results have been very promising. I started with the recommended dose of 300 mJ, and once I saw no redness or irritation, I gradually increased the dose by 20% until I noticed a slight redness, as advised. Now, there’s less dryness and flaking along my hairline. I will continue the treatment.
-
It does what it says!
Just like other reviewers mentioned, it takes a little time to learn how to use the machine. It can be a bit intimidating at first, especially when you’re concerned about not harming your skin. But the results speak for themselves. I’ve been using the 4033BL2D for three months now, and the thick, dandruff-like flaking has become noticeably thinner. Now, I only experience mild dryness and occasional itching. I’m really pleased I gave this device a try!
-
Good quality and neat design
The delivery was faster than expected. A friend recommended that I should also try this narrowband UVB lamp. It takes some time to figure out how to use the lamp to treat the skin. Let's see how my skin improves.
-
So far so good.
The device is very convenient to use, especially for treating my hairline and the scalp above my neck, thanks to its cordless design. I’ve gained a lot of confidence in managing my psoriasis using a combination of shampoo, ointment, and this photo therapy lamp. I prefer to avoid taking medications for as long as I can, and this has been working.
-
Cannot wait to try it
The cordless design is perfect for me since I don’t have to deal with a cord while treating the scaly patches along my scalp line and forehead. That area has been itchy and dry, and while the cream I use helps control it, it hasn’t really improved it. My dermatologist friend recommended trying a narrowband UVB lamp, and I’m so glad I came across this device. Excited to try it out and see the results!
-
The cordless works great!
I compared several models but ultimately chose this cordless version for its convenience. After about 30 sessions (3 months), I’ve noticed that the flaky skin on my scalp and elbows has smoothed out. The patches on my neck and arms have been healing more slowly, but I’m still really happy with the progress. Even though it takes time, I prefer light therapy over oral medications. Definitely worth trying.
