Understanding Phototherapy: UV Cabin vs. Comb for Psoriasis

Phototherapy is a trusted treatment for psoriasis, vitiligo, and eczema. But should you choose a full UV cabin or a handheld UV comb? Here's what you need to know.

UV Cabin BenefitsA MEDLight UV cabin offers full-body coverage, ideal for widespread skin conditions. It provides controlled, medical-grade narrowband UVB light with safety timers and skin-type settings.

UV Comb AdvantagesA UV comb is perfect for treating the scalp or smaller patches. It's more affordable, portable, and ideal for targeted therapy. Use it 3–4 times per week as prescribed.

Choosing the Right Option

  • Cabins: Best for chronic or extensive cases; faster full-body treatment.
  • Combs: Ideal for mild to moderate psoriasis or for use between clinical treatments.
