Home phototherapy provides flexibility, allowing patients to manage their skin condition on their own schedule without disrupting routine, which is especially helpful for those with busy lives or living far from clinics. This ease of use often leads to better adherence to the treatment plan, potentially improving outcomes. It's also cost-effective by reducing travel and clinic visit expenses. Additionally, studies show home treatments are just as safe and effective as in-clinic care, while offering the added comfort of receiving care in one's own home and therefore sometimes even better outcomes. 

Also, possibility of home phototherapy provides patients with psoriasis, eczema and vitiligo with safe and natural treatment options. However,, when choosing home phototherapy, You need to select appropriate device for effective and easy treatment (see how UV Tactus is different from other home devices on the market here). 

The key difference that sets UV Tactus apart from other devices is that it’s the only CE-certified medical home phototherapy 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. 

You don’t need a prescription, but it is recommended, before starting the treatment, to consult with your doctor. This could be a dermatologist or another healthcare provider who is familiar with phototherapy and your specific skin condition. 

While complex therapy, combining NB UVB phototherapy with other treatments, is commonly used for skin conditions for better results, it’s essential to consult your doctor first. Some medications, such as photosensitizing drugs or immunosuppressants, can increase sensitivity to UV light. Your doctor can guide you on safely combining UV Tactus with other medications or topical treatments to ensure effective and safe results

A dosimeter is important because it allows precise control over the amount of light delivered during phototherapy session. UV Tactus stands out with its integrated dosimeter, which calculates the exact treatment dose in real-time, just like in a professional clinic. Built-in sensors ensure the dose, measured in joules, is always accurate and consistent, leading to safe and effective healing. Unlike older devices that rely on time-based systems, which can be unreliable due to environmental factors, UV Tactus removes the guesswork and risk of overexposure which can lead to skin irritation or other side effects. Simply set your dose, and it automatically shuts off when the treatment is complete, ensuring precision and safety every time.

Phototherapy is the medical use of specific wavelengths of ultraviolet (UV) radiation to treat skin disorders. There are several distinct types of light treatment, each suited to different conditions and depths of skin involvement. Modern UV  treatment is broadly divided into phototherapy, which uses light alone, and photochemotherapy, which combines light with light-sensitising medication.

The main types of phototherapy include:

• Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy. Narrowband UVB treatment is the most commonly used and first-line treatment today. It uses a precise wavelength (311 nm) that targets the outer layers of the skin. Importantly, NB-UVB is considered safer than UVA-based treatments, as it does not require photosensitising medication and has a more favourable long-term safety profile. NB-UVB is widely used for psoriasis, eczema (atopic dermatitis), and vitiligo and others and can be delivered both in clinics and at home when prescribed and supervised appropriately.
• Broadband UVB (BB-UVB). An older form of UVB therapy using a wider range of wavelengths. It has largely been replaced by NB-UVB due to better effectiveness and safety.
• UVA phototherapy. UVA light penetrates deeper into the skin and is used for specific conditions: PUVA combines UVA light therapy with a medication called psoralen and may be used for thicker or treatment-resistant plaques; UVA1 light therapy uses long-wave UVA and is mainly used for conditions involving skin hardening, such as morphoea. These light therapy treatments are clinic-based only and are not suitable for home use.
• Excimer laser or excimer light (308 nm) is used for small, localised patches of psoriasis or vitiligo. This treatment is clinic-based and cannot be used at home, as it requires specialised equipment and professional operation.

Which treatment is right for me?

The choice depends on the condition being treated, the depth and extent of skin involvement, and individual medical factors. vvNarrowband ultraviolet light therapy is often the preferred first option due to its effectiveness, safety profile, and ability to be used at home under medical guidance. Other treatments may be considered when NB-UVB is not suitable or effective.

Yes — phototherapy can be done at home, provided key medical requirements are met.

Clinical evidence and dermatology guidelines support home-based NB-UVB phototherapy for patients when it is properly prescribed, supervised, and delivered using a certified medical-grade device. When done correctly, home treatment can achieve results comparable to clinic-based phototherapy, while offering greater convenience, better adherence, and the ability to start treatment as soon as a flare-up occurs.

• However, safe and effective light therapy at home depends on using a trusted medical device that ensures accurate dosing, is easy to use, and helps patients follow the treatment correctly.

Concerns about skin cancer are completely understandable when considering any treatment that uses ultraviolet radiation. Cancer risk is known to be influenced by excessive or uncontrolled UV exposure, particularly UVA light, which is more strongly associated with photo-ageing and cancer. For this reason, older treatments such as PUVA (psoralen plus UVA) are known to carry a higher long-term cancer risk.¹³

• By contrast, narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy has been used in dermatology for many decades, and large long-term studies have not shown a proven association between NB-UVB treatment and an increased risk of cancer when it is prescribed, dosed and monitored correctly.³ NB-UVB delivers a very specific UVB wavelength (311 nm) and does not emit UVA, which significantly improves its safety profile compared with older phototherapy methods.¹³
• Most research indicates that NB-UVB carries little to no additional risk beyond normal everyday exposure to natural sunlight, while offering the advantage of controlled, medically targeted dosing rather than unpredictable sun exposure.⁴

As a precaution, dermatology guidelines recommend long-term skin monitoring only for patients who receive very high cumulative numbers of treatments (typically more than 500 whole-body sessions), particularly in individuals with additional risk factors such as fair skin or significant past sun exposure.¹

• When NB-UVB is used at home, correct dosing and control are especially important. Dermatologists consistently emphasise that phototherapy at home should follow the same treatment protocols and dose accuracy used in clinics.¹

This is where UV Tactus plays an important role. UV Tactus is a regulated medical device for home use that delivers medical-grade NB-UVB (311 nm) without UVA, incorporates a professional-grade dosimeter to ensure accurate dosing, and allows treatment to follow established clinical protocols. The UV Tactus mobile app guides patients step by step through their prescribed treatment plan, helping to prevent over- or under-exposure, and patients also receive a free one-to-one video onboarding session so treatment starts confidently and correctly from day one.

When NB-UVB phototherapy is delivered using a properly regulated home device, with accurate dosing, UVA-free light and appropriate guidance, it is considered a safe and well-established treatment with no demonstrated increase in skin cancer risk.¹³⁴

Phototherapy, particularly Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB), is considered very safe and has been used for decades with well-established safety profiles. Unlike older treatments like PUVA, the largest studies on NB-UVB have not shown an increased risk of skin cancer. It does not typically lose its effectiveness over time, meaning you can have repeated courses over many years. As a precaution, medical guidelines recommend that if you reach 500 sessions in your lifetime, you should receive regular specialist skin cancer checks.

• The long-term safety profile of NB-UVB is well-established from decades of clinical use. This stands in contrast to some newer systemic drugs, where robust data on risks associated with continuous, long-term use is still being gathered. This extensive track record allows for clear, evidence-based safety protocols.

Thanks to its versatile immune-modulating and cell-regulating effects, phototherapy can be used as an effective primary or secondary treatment for a wide range of dermatological conditions, including: Psoriasis, Eczema, Atopic dermatitis, Neurodermitis, Vitiligo, Mycosis fungoides, Lichen planus, Pityriasis lichenoides, Morphoea (Scleroderma), Chronic urticaria, Pruritus, Photodermatoses, etc. 

Psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo are well-established indications for NB-UVB phototherapy and respond very well to this treatment. When NB-UVB is recommended for a patient, home phototherapy is a wise and practical choice— particularly for vitiligo, where treatment often needs to continue over many months.

Home phototherapy is safe and effective when done properly, with the right medical device and guidance.

UV Tactus: built-in safety and effectiveness through the app:

• Uses established NB-UVB treatment protocols applied in dermatology clinics

• Guides each session based on your skin reaction and adherence

• Automatically calculates dose and helps track and follow treatment:

Precise dose control through UV Tactus device:

• UV Tactus is a certified medical device delivering the same NB UVB type of light as in hospital or clinic.

• It includes an integrated medical-grade dosimeter and measures UVB dose in millijoules (mJ) — not just time

• Ensures each session delivers the exact prescribed energy, improving safety and consistency

In summary: The UV Tactus device and app work together to create a controlled, responsive system that mirrors clinic-based phototherapy — allowing patients with psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo to treat safely, confidently, and consistently at home, even during long-term treatment.

Yes — and for many patients, home phototherapy is a game-changer. Home UVB phototherapy removes the need for frequent clinic visits and inconvenient appointment times, allowing treatment to start as soon as a flare-up appears — without waiting in queues. Because it fits more easily into daily routines, home treatment often improves adherence, which is closely linked to better treatment outcomes.

However, for home phototherapy to be safe and effective, certain prerequisites must be in place:

• A confirmed medical diagnosis that responds well to UVB phototherapy, such as psoriasis, eczema, vitiligo and others.

• Use of a certified medical device

• Accurate dosing (dosimetry)

• Correct adherence to established NB-UVB treatment protocols

Without these safeguards, both effectiveness and safety may be compromised. If you have never used phototherapy before, or if your condition changes, medical advice is strongly recommended. Patients continue treatment independently once a plan is established, with periodic medical follow-up if needed.

Important! Not all light treatments can be done at home. Excimer laser and excimer light therapies must be performed in a clinical setting and are not suitable for home use.

How UV Tactus Enables Successful Home Phototherapy:

• UV Tactus is a CE-marked medical device designed specifically for safe and effective home NB-UVB phototherapy. It uses 16 high-performance LEDs to deliver the same narrowband UVB light used in dermatology clinics, combined with a professional-grade integrated dosimeter for precise dose control.
• The UV Tactus app guides patients through the approved NB-UVB treatment protocol, calculates the correct dose for each session, advises when to skip treatment if skin redness persists, and generates treatment reports that can be shared with a doctor.

Together, this ensures phototherapy is carried out correctly, safely, and consistently at home — with clinic-level precision and confidence.

Key takeaway: When done properly with the right medical device, home phototherapy gives you freedom, control, and continuity of care.

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 UV Tactus treatment area ranges from 26.5 cm² to 106 cm², offering flexibility for different treatment needs- from small patches or larger areas. It is divided into four sub-areas, each 26.5 cm², with independent activation, allowing precise treatment of affected areas without impacting the surrounding skin. These sub-areas can be configured and combined to treat areas up to 106 cm². This versatility makes UV Tactus suitable for various body parts, including the arms, legs, torso, scalp, and even hard-to-reach areas. The adjustability of the treatment area allows for more effective care for patients with widespread or gradually expanding skin conditions, providing a customized treatment plan whether the focus is on localized spots or larger regions. 

If affected body location is bigger that UV Tactus treatment area, You can divide the location and perform several UV Tactus sessions until all affected area is covered. 

The device includes various target frames designed for different body surfaces. 

At a time, UV Tactus can treat a body area of up to 106 cm² (approximately 10 cm by 10 cm). If the affected area is larger than this, you can divide it into smaller sections and treat each one separately until the entire affected area is covered. The device’s treatment area is divided into four individually managed parts, allowing you to select the necessary number of zones based on the configuration of the affected area. The companion app will also store how many zones were chosen for each specific body location, helping you track your progress and avoid missing or overlapping any areas. Simply move the device methodically to the next section and continue treatment as per the recommended guidelines. Always follow your treatment plan, and if you’re unsure, consult your healthcare provider

The UV Tactus device offers quick sessions each lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. As treatment progresses, the dosage is often increased to accelerate healing. The treatment time depends on the dose, which varies based on the area being treated, your skin type, and the stage of therapy. For more stubborn areas or the full scalp, sessions may take up to 8 minutes. Typically, 20-25 sessions are needed to achieve full clearance, with treatments recommended three times a week. However, this may vary depending on your specific skin condition and how your skin responds to phototherapy. 

For the best results, it’s important to follow your doctor’s advice and the Instructions for Use closely. The full treatment protocol is always included in the Instructions for Use that accompany the UV Tactus device. If you don’t notice improvements after three months, it’s recommended to consult your doctor to reassess and adjust your treatment plan. 

The number of treatments needed with the UV Tactus device depends on the condition being treated and your response to therapy. For psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (eczema), you will typically need 20-25 sessions to see a significant improvement, while vitiligo may require a longer treatment period, often several months. 

The recommended frequency for treatments is 3 times per week, which allows the skin to recover between sessions and reduces the risk of adverse effects.  

The treatment frequency and duration are not fixed and should be tailored according to the individual’s response and doctor recommendations. Regular monitoring is essential to adjust the plan and optimize results. 

It is very important to remember, that regular and consistent use is key, as missing sessions can delay progress.

When you purchase the UV Tactus, you will receive:

Yes, other family members can use the same UV Tactus, but we recommend that each person has their own app profile. This prevents confusion with dosing and ensures each individual’s treatment is tracked separately. If any accessories, such as the applicators or straps, are shared between users, they should be thoroughly disinfected before being used by another person to maintain hygiene and safety.

No, you don’t need to replace the LEDs in the UV Tactus device. The UV lamp is designed with a lifespan of approximately 1,000 hours, ensuring long-lasting performance. For example, if you use UV Tactus three times a week with 15-minute sessions, the LED will last around 1,333 weeks, or about 25.6 years, before it reaches the end of its service life. 

Like all lamps, the LEDs in the UV Tactus will age over time, leading to a gradual reduction in UV intensity. This is a normal process for all light sources. However, the integrated dosimeter in UV Tactus ensures that the dose remains precise throughout the lamp’s lifespan by adjusting the treatment time as the LEDs age. This means that, although the intensity may decrease, the device still delivers the exact dose required, with only a slight increase in treatment time. Other devices without this technology will not be able to maintain accuracy over time resulting in ineffective treatment. 

Yes, UV Tactus has a few replaceable parts and requires maintenance to ensure it works effectively. The UV lamp lasts about 1,000 hours and should be calibrated every 200 hours for accuracy. Parts like the silicone applicator, holder frame, and fastening straps need to be replaced every 2 years or after specific usage limits. Regular cleaning with alcohol-free wipes is recommended to maintain hygiene

The UV Tactus comes with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. This warranty covers defects caused by material deficiencies or manufacturing errors. However, the warranty does not cover wear parts, such  glass breakage; mechanical damage; any malfunction caused by improper handling, disregard for the intended use, or failure to follow the Instruction for Use. 

 To keep your warranty intact, avoid unauthorized repairs or modifications. Should you ever need assistance, simply reach out to SCI Health or Your authorized dealer.

You should speak to your phototherapy nurse or doctor if you experience:

• Severe Reactions: You develop painful redness, blistering, or skin peeling.
• Eye Irritation: You experience eye pain or grittiness, as UV light can cause temporary inflammation of the eye (photokeratitis) if goggles are not worn correctly.
• New Medications: You start any new tablets or creams. Some medicines (and even herbal remedies) can make your skin highly sensitive to light, which could lead to a severe burn.
• Health Changes: You notice new or changing moles, or if you become pregnant (though UVB is safe in pregnancy, your medical plan may need adjusting).

It is not recommended to use UV Tactus every day. NB-UVB phototherapy follows established medical protocols and is usually performed 2–3 times per week. More frequent use does not improve results and may increase the risk of skin irritation.

The Instructions for Use provide detailed guidance on safe treatment frequency. In addition, the UV Tactus app helps guide the correct schedule, advising when to treat and when to pause based on the protocol and your skin’s response, ensuring therapy remains safe and effective.

If a different schedule is medically advised, this should be recommended by a dermatologist. In such cases, treatment frequency can be adjusted in the app.

The UV Tactus app not only sends reminders to ensure no session is missed, but also acts as your personal phototherapy assistant and helps with dose calculations, treatment plan tracking and documentation. Unlike older phototherapy devices, it eliminates the need for manual logs and calculations. With its built-in calendar, you can easily track when and for which body part sessions are scheduled, how many you’ve completed, and how many remain. The app allows to follow therapy instructions easily. You just answer a few simple questions how your skin looks and feels and you get a suggestion what dose to input in the device or whether to skip a session that day. You can effortlessly track your progress, upload photos, add notes for specific treatments on certain days, and securely share updates with your doctor. This makes light therapy simple, effective, and stress-free from the comfort of your home.

The UV Tactus app helps you follow the official treatment protocol — the same NB-UVB phototherapy protocol used in hospitals and included in the UV Tactus User Instructions. At each session, the app suggests the appropriate light dose based on this protocol, taking into account your skin’s reactions and any missed sessions. This means you can easily manage your therapy without the complex manual calculations required by older devices. Simply follow the app’s guidance, and you’ll be using the dose recommended by the established medical protocol every time. The app is designed to support safe, correct, and effective treatment — always in line with the approved medical guidelines.

The UV Tactus app is supported on both iOS and Android operating systems. This allows you to use the app on a wide range of smartphones and tablets. Just make sure your device is running the latest version of the operating system for optimal performance and compatibility. 

The UV Tactus app helps you follow the official NB-UVB treatment protocol — the same protocol used in hospitals and included in the UV Tactus User Instructions. It uses clear rules from your treatment plan and UV Tactus Instructions for Use to show you which dose to enter into the device.  

At each session, the app suggests the appropriate UVB dose according to the approved NB-UVB protocol — or recommends skipping the session if skin redness is still present — taking into account:

• Your skin’s reaction

• Protocol-based dose progression rules

• Any missed or delayed sessions

This removes the need for complex manual dose calculations required by older devices. You simply follow the app’s guidance and apply the dose recommended by the established medical protocol every time. Designed to support safe, correct, and effective treatment, the UV Tactus app keeps phototherapy at home fully aligned with established clinical protocols and guidelines— combining precision, safety, and ease of use from start to finish.

IMPORTANT! In order to receive dose suggestions, and before starting treatment, a treatment plan must be created in the app. This ensures your therapy is personalised, structured, and aligned with medical guidelines from the very first session.

The NB UVB treatment protocol is already built into the app — you simply create your treatment plan for each affected body area in a few clicks. The app allows you to personalise the plan based on your skin type, set your treatment days and number of sessions, and, if advised by your doctor, adjust the starting dose and dose escalation from the default settings.

Yes — UV Tactus can replace regular in-clinic sessions, but it does not replace the role of a doctor.

• UV Tactus is a CE-marked medical device designed for safe and effective home NB-UVB (311 nm) therapy. It uses 16 high-performance LEDs to deliver the same narrowband UVB light used in hospitals and dermatology clinics, together with a professional-grade integrated dosimeter to ensure precise dose control.
• The UV Tactus app supports patients in following the approved NB-UVB treatment protocol. It suggests the appropriate dose for each session, advises when to pause treatment if skin redness persists, and generates treatment reports that can be shared with a doctor.

Together, this allows the treatment to be carried out correctly, safely, and consistently at home, with clinic-level precision and effectiveness, without the need for frequent travel to a treatment centre. For many patients, UV Tactus effectively reduces the need for repeated clinic visits, offering greater convenience, continuity, and control, while remaining part of a medically guided care pathway.

Medical involvement remains essential:

• A doctor should confirm the diagnosis and assess whether UVB therapy is appropriate

• A doctor may adjust or review the treatment plan when required (the treatment protocol, based on international dermatology guidelines, is included in the UV Tactus Instructions for Use and integrated into the app)

• Periodic medical follow-up is recommended, particularly if symptoms change

Important note: The UV Tactus mobile app is not a medical device. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it does not control the UV Tactus device. The app is an optional digital support tool for UV Tactus users, designed to help apply the prescribed treatment plan and follow the UV Tactus Instructions for Use more easily and consistently.

The time it takes to see results can vary depending on the skin condition being treated and how your skin responds to phototherapy. For conditions like psoriasis and eczema, many users notice improvements after about 15-25 treatment sessions, which typically translates to a few weeks of consistent use. However, for conditions like vitiligo, where repigmentation can take longer, results may be more gradual and require more sessions over an extended period. 

It's important to follow your prescribed treatment plan closely and remain patient, as consistency is key to achieving the best outcomes.  If you have concerns about your progress or if there’s no improvement after several weeks, it’s advisable to consult your doctor to review your treatment plan and make any necessary adjustments

Yes — phototherapy is a highly effective, well-established treatment and is commonly used as a first- or second-line option for chronic conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo. Supported by decades of clinical use and international medical guidelines, it is widely recommended and prescribed by dermatologists as a safe, reliable therapy.

Phototherapy uses precisely controlled doses of UV light to calm inflammation, slow excessive skin cell growth, support repigmentation, and promote natural skin healing. With regular, consistent sessions, the majority of patients experience significant and long-lasting improvement, often reducing their reliance on creams or other treatments.

While there are few absolute contraindications to phototherapy, such as a history of light sensitivity or genetic predisposition to skin cancer, relative contraindications include a personal history of skin cancer or a poor response to past phototherapy. It’s essential to discuss potential risks with your doctor, particularly if you have lighter skin, are taking sun-sensitizing medications, or are using immunosuppressive drugs. Phototherapy is not recommended for individuals with severe systemic diseases or those with photodermatoses, which worsen with light exposure. Always consult your doctor before starting phototherapy to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your specific condition.

Phototherapy uses specific wavelengths of medical light to treat a wide range of chronic conditions, including Psoriasis, Eczema, Atopic dermatitis, Neurodermitis, Vitiligo, Mycosis fungoides, Lichen planus, Pityriasis lichenoides, Morphoea (Scleroderma), Chronic urticaria, Pruritus, Photodermatoses, and others.

The light penetrates the skin and works at a biological level to decrease inflammation, slow abnormal skin cell growth, and support natural healing processes. Narrowband UVB is most commonly used because it effectively targets the skin without damaging deeper tissues.

With regular sessions, phototherapy helps control symptoms and improve the appearance and health of the skin over time. It is one of the oldest and most scientifically proven treatments in dermatology, widely used and recommended by doctors around the world. At its core, phototherapy creates a gentle “biological reset” in the skin through several key actions:

• Calming the immune system: UV light reduces the activity of overactive immune cells (T-cells) that drive inflammation.

• Slowing excessive cell growth: In conditions such as psoriasis, it helps normalise the rapid turnover of skin cells.

• Restoring colour: In vitiligo, UV light stimulates pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in hair follicles to multiply and migrate into depigmented areas.

• Supporting skin healing: In certain conditions, it can improve skin thickness, elasticity, and overall skin health.

By working with the body’s own biology rather than simply masking symptoms, phototherapy offers a proven and effective way to manage chronic skin conditions over the long term.

In the hours following a session, it is normal to experience:

• Redness (Erythema): This is the most common side effect. It usually starts 3–5 hours after treatment, peaks at 12–24 hours, and fades by 72 hours.
• Mild Discomfort: Your skin may feel itchy, dry, or tender, similar to a mild sunburn.
• Tanning

Results depend on your specific condition, how your skin responds, and how consistently you attend sessions (usually 3 times per week).

First results often appear after a few weeks, but light therapy works gradually — consistency is crucial to achieve the best results and shorten the time to improvement.

• Psoriasis: A typical course averages around 25 sessions. Many patients see clear improvement within weeks and a significant reduction in the need for steroid creams by the end of the course.

• Vitiligo: Progress is slower and requires a longer-term approach, often with treatment continuing for several months and sometimes up to a year. Doctors usually assess for signs of repigmentation within the first six monthsbefore deciding whether to continue.

• Remission: After completing a course, many patients enjoy treatment-free periods, during which the skin remains stable or clear.
