Finally - there's a safe, effective, and economical psoriasis treatment. While spot and scalp psoriasis treatment is the most common use of the Dermalight, UV phototherapy also effectively treats vitiligo, eczema and many other conditions.

The Dermalight is generally covered by insurance.

The Dermalight comes fully assembled and ready for use. Simply plug it in and you are ready to go. The comb attachment (included) allows you to treat the scalp by moving hair out of the way so the UV light can penetrate and effectively treat the skin.
