New to Phototherapy?
Phototherapy is the use of light to treat psoriasis, vitiligo, and other skin disorders. In treatments, the skin is exposed to a special type of light which comes from a medical device commonly referred to as a phototherapy unit.
Phototherapy vs. Biologics
While biological drug therapies have become popular in the last few years, it is important to evaluate the safety of these medications. Every one of the following drugs has had numerous adverse effects and deaths where the drug was listed as the primary suspected cause.
"My skin is completely healed..."
- Eric, CA

Frequently Asked Questions
It is important to know that some topicals may actually hinder treatment. For example, some lotions contain UV absorbing ingredients similar to those used in sunscreens and may block much of the benefit of phototherapy treatment.
Other topicals and medications may photosensitize your skin. Watch out for lotions containing photosensitizing agents or essential oils such as lime, lemon, or orange. Such ingredients could cause an unexpected erythemal reaction when exposed to the ultraviolet energy delivered during a phototherapy treatment. In addition, coal tar, psoralens, and retinoids will consistently photosensitive your skin to UV light. For a detailed list of photosensitizers, visit this link: https://www.daavlin.com/dont-see-red-know-these-photosensitizers/. We recommend speaking with your doctor about topicals and medications that may impact your phototherapy treatments.
Lamp Disposal
We recommend that UV lamps, which contain mercury, be recycled in compliance with your local
regulations, and not left in the device due to the risk of harm to others. If you are not sure how to dispose of your device’s lamps, please contact your local waste/recycling service and ask them about fluorescent lamp recycling in your area.
Device Disposal
Important: Daavlin CANNOT purchase or resell used devices due to regulatory restrictions. Customers who no longer wish to use their phototherapy device may dispose of it on their own (with the lamps removed) through a local scrap metal dealer/recycler.
