- Mild redness: if it clears within 24 hours, extend by 20 seconds at the next session.

- Marked redness: pause treatment until the skin returns to normal, then reduce the time by 20%.
- The typical exposure per spot is about 3–4 minutes, depending on skin type.
The Philips BU‑1S handheld NB‑UVB lamp is designed to be user-friendly, versatile and highly effective for managing vitiligo, psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions. With regular, well‑titrated use, you can support healthier, more even skin.

I've been using the Philips UVB lamp for my psoriasis treatment over the past few weeks. It has noticeably reduced my symptoms, and I'll certainly continue with the treatment.
