F.A.Q.
If you have psoriasis, vitiligo, eczema or other skin conditions that respond to UV light treatment, you are a potential candidate for UV Tactus. You can use it alone or in combination with other therapies.
UV Tactus delivers UVB narrowband light wave that peaks at 311 nm.
High-quality clinical studies¹ and UK dermatology guidelines² confirm that home-based UVB narrowband phototherapy is as safe and effective as hospital treatment for conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo, when a medical-grade device and correct dosing and guidance are used.
UK guidelines also recognise that access to hospital phototherapy can be limited due to capacity and demand, and specifically recommend that home service should be considered to improve access to care, particularly where waiting times or geographical barriers exist². This makes home treatment especially valuable, as access within public healthcare systems, including the NHS, often involves waiting times of many months.
- Home phototherapy offers flexibility and control, allowing patients to treat their skin condition at a time that suits them — without waiting lists, frequent clinic visits or disruption to daily routines. This is particularly beneficial for people with busy schedules or those living far from dermatology centres. With UVB narrowband at home, patients can treat flare-ups immediately, without waiting for appointments.
The convenience of home treatment often leads to better adherence to treatment plans, which is known to improve outcomes. It is also cost-effective, reducing travel time and clinic expenses, while offering comfort, privacy and in some cases even better results due to consistent use.
Home therapy provides patients with psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo with a safe, natural and non-invasive treatment option.
- Importantly, the UK dermatology guidelines emphasise that accurate dose delivery (dosimetry) is critical for both the safety and effectiveness, whether treatment is delivered in hospital or at home². Inaccurate dosing may lead to under-treatment, delayed results or an increased risk of side effects.
- When managing chronic skin conditions at home, it is essential to select an appropriate medical device that ensures precise dose control, clear treatment guidance and a structured, safe treatment routine (see how UV Tactus is different from other home devices on the market here).

With the UV Tactus, You can treat various parts of the body, including and not limited:
- Arms and legs (both flat and curved areas),
- Torso (chest, back, and abdomen),
- Hands and feet,
- Scalp (with the comb attachment for better access through hair),
- Face (taking extra care to protect the eyes and surrounding skin),
- Hard-to-reach areas, such as behind the knees, elbows, and other curved or uneven surfaces.
The device’s flexible design, with multiple treatment zones and silicone applicators, allows you to effectively treat both small patches and larger areas of skin. UV Tactus comes with two silicone applicators-one for flat surfaces and one for curved body areas, designed to maintain the correct distance between the LEDs and your skin while protecting the surrounding skin from exposure. Also for patients with sympotomps in scalp area comb attachement is available.
The number of treatments needed with the UV Tactus medical device to achieve skin improvement depends on the condition being treated and the individual response to therapy. Consistency and regularity are essential, as missed sessions can delay progress.
- For psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema), early improvements such as reduced redness, scaling and itching are often noticeable within 2–4 weeks, with around 20–25 sessions typically required to achieve significant improvement.
- Vitiligo requires a longer treatment period, as repigmentation develops gradually. Visible results may take several months, and treatment may need to continue for up to one year or longer.
The recommended treatment frequency is three times per week, allowing the skin time to recover between sessions and reducing the risk of side effects. Each treatment session for a specific area typically lasts from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the prescribed dose. Treatment frequency and duration are not fixed and should be individualised based on treatment response and doctor recommendations.
- As different body areas may respond at different rates, home use with UV Tactus allows fully personalised, individual treatments for each area as needed. The companion UV Tactus app organises treatments clearly, making it easy to follow the plan and instructions without confusion.
- With UV Tactus at home, flare-ups can be treated immediately, with maintenance sessions as advised.
Patients achieve hospital-grade results at home, following the same treatment protocols, safety standards and dose accuracy used in clinical settings — without travelling or waiting lists.
Home-based UVB narrowband phototherapy is considered safe and well established for conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo when a CE MDR–marked medical device is used with correct dosing, appropriate guidance and adherence to instructions.
When considering treatment at home, only CE MDR–certified medical devices should be used. There is an important difference between medical-grade home devices and commercial sunlamps: unregulated sunlamps are not recommended, as they are not standardised, may be less effective, and can pose safety risks.
Home UV treatment is safe for many people, but some conditions — such as photosensitivity disorders or previous skin cancer — may mean it is not appropriate. Medical advice should always be sought before starting treatment.
However, not all medical UVB lamps offer the same level of safety. While CE MDR (Class IIa) certification confirms compliance with strict medical safety standards, UV Tactus is designed to go beyond standard requirements. Moreover, UV Tactus medical device is certified under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR 2017/745), the latest and most stringent medical device regulatory frameworks, ensuring highest standards of safety and performance.
To maximise safety at home, UV Tactus is equipped with additional advanced features not found in other devices:
-
uses an integrated dosimeter to measure the therapeutic UVB narrowband dose in Joules in real time, delivering the same accuracy as in-clinic. UK dermatology guidelines emphasise that accurate dose delivery (dosimetry) is critical for both the safety and effectiveness of UVB treatment¹;
-
automatically shuts off once the prescribed dose is reached and is password-protected;
-
has silicone applicators that help shield surrounding healthy skin from UV exposure;
-
has a treatment window that may be divided into smaller zones that allow precise, localised exposure only where needed;
-
is fully digital and requires confirmation for key actions, reducing the risk of accidental misuse and making it intuitive and easy to use.
The companion app further supports safe and consistent treatment by calculating doses based on treatment protocol and instructions, guiding each session step by step, and sending reminders to support adherence.
Why this matters: these combined UV Tactus safeguards reduce guesswork, minimise the risk of over or underexposure, and help deliver clinic-level treatment safely and effectively in the comfort of your home.
Because it helps you follow the UVB phototherapy treatment instructions correctly — so you can achieve results with confidence and without confusion. The treatment protocol from the UV Tactus User Instructions is already integrated into the app, making the entire phototherapy treatment process simpler, clearer, and more convenient.
The UV Tactus app not only sends reminders so no session is missed, but also acts as your personal assistant — guiding you through each step of treatment, including the precise treatment dose. Unlike older devices, it eliminates the need for manual logs and calculations. This means no confusion — you always know exactly what to do.
With its built-in calendar, you can easily see when and for which body areas sessions are scheduled, how many you’ve completed, and how many remain. You can effortlessly track your progress, upload photos, add notes for specific sessions, and securely share updates with your doctor.
This makes phototherapy simple, effective, and stress-free — all from the comfort of your home.
The key difference that sets UV Tactus apart from other devices is that it’s the only CE-certified medical home UV device powered by LEDs. This alone makes UV Tactus the device that could not be compared to others, but there are more advantages worth to mention:
- It saves you time by delivering the required dose 1.5 times faster.
- An integrated dosimeter ensures precise dose control and automatically shuts off the device when the dose is reached.
- It offers a flexible treatment area ranging from 26.5 cm² to 106 cm², allowing you to target both small and larger areas effectively.
- The companion app automatically suggests the correct treatment dose, sends reminders, tracks your progress, generates reports, and keeps your treatment smooth and easy to manage.
- Its lightweight, portable design makes it not only perfect for home use but also ideal for traveling, fitting conveniently in the palm of your hand.
Additionally, the UV Tactus team provides proactive support, and no matter how you contact us—by phone, email, or online chat—you’ll always be connected to a real person ready to assist you.
A device is considered a medical device when it meets regulatory standards set by authorities, holds a CE certificate, complies with ISO 13485, and adheres to the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR) 2017/745. UV Tactus meets all these certifications, ensuring its safety and reliability.
A medical device is specifically designed to diagnose, prevent, monitor, or treat medical conditions. To qualify, it must serve a clear medical purpose, such as improving health, diagnosing diseases, or aiding in recovery. The key is that their primary function must directly impact healthcare or patient treatment.
