It's good to use NBUVB lamp for vitiligo. Usually many people will respond well with UV-B treatment. Time of exposure to the light will Usually vary from device to device and physician to physician as over exposure may lead to redness and blisters.
So when you buy or planning to buy a lamp make sure you take first 2 to 3 doses in dermatologist supervision.
