Daavlin warrants its lamps for sixty (60) days against defects in material and workmanship and to operate at the time of initial installation in an electrical circuit having the correct characteristics for proper lamp operation. No warranty is made as to useful lamp life or as to reduction in ultraviolet output due to any cause.

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.

No, Daavlin does not accept returns for phototherapy devices. Our phototherapy devices are prescribed devices—similar to a prescription drug. We are not able to resell used products; therefore, we do not have a buy-back program.

Every Daavlin phototherapy device has a label near the power inlet with a voltage and frequency specification. If the voltage of the country that you are traveling to matches the label, you may use it. If you would like to use your device in countries with a different voltage, contact Daavlin technical support for more information. Depending on the exact machine you have, there are a range of possible solutions.

Yes, the purchase of home phototherapy devices or new lamps requires a prescription from your doctor. If you need help finding a doctor in your area, please take a look at our list of dermatology clinics.

Technically, your phototherapy device will fade materials—similar to how sunlight fades clothing. However, it takes years of extended exposure to see a noticeable difference.

If you no longer use or want your unit, you may dispose of it locally.

Lamp Disposal
Daavlin recommends 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
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 or return it to Daavlin for disposal.

To return your device to Daavlin:

1. Notify the technical support (800-DAAVLIN) that you are returning your device for disposal. Be prepared to provide the device’s serial number. Customers are responsible for shipping costs.
2. Write "FOR DISPOSAL" on the outside of your return unit’s container.

Note: Daavlin cannot facilitate the sale or donation of a used phototherapy unit.
