Anyone know where the cheapest place is for replacement tubes , I just use a 6ft standard sunbed and time myself using my phone, saves spending thousands on equipment when u can pick old sunbeds up cheap and just buy new tubes

Hi Lance. How much do you want for it? Do you still have the MBS receipt? Do all 9 tubes still work? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm glad this forum is still going. I am looking to purchase a 9 Lamp UVB Narrowband Phototherapy Canopy Unit. I am based in SW London so if anyone knows of any units going that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Managed to buy a second hand one just over a month ago and it has been worth it for me already. I have about 30% covering and it has faded considerably although you can still see where it is.. Happily wearing short sleeves and even went swimming yesterday and didn't feel anyone was staring. Just thought worth sharing this in case anyone else is still considering getting one. All the best.

Hi everyone, I've recently registered with Psoriasis Association and your conversations here have been so helpful! I got diagnosed with guttate psoriasis 11 months ago. After a big flare, I decided to go for UVB Narrowband Phototherapy. The results were great but, after 4-5 months, I'm starting to see a few P spots coming back on my legs (although not as intense as my first flare). I am considering purchasing a 9 lamp UVB canopy unit and was wondering if anyone on this chat was still looking to sell? And any other advice you can give a new joiner regarding UVB treatment and other would be much appreciated! All the best, T

HI, Everyone Not posted or responded for a while, I am glad people are getting results with the UVB beds, I have had mine for a few years & use it periodically when it flares up, but I think they are a great investment to have. Hope you all continue to get the desired results .

Hello, A little warning, I ordered a 9 tube ‘psoriasis bed’ from a company called Sun and Health at a cost of £2,000. Was told it would be delivered within 2 weeks. That was back in March, and it still hadn’t arrived 14 weeks later, so I cancelled my order. However I am still covered from head to toes with psoriasis and my hair is coming out in handfuls. GP has referred me to dermatology for more Puva treatment which I previously had a couple of years ago. Appointment has come through for December! Feeling quite desperate now and am wondering if I should try ordinary sunbed at a shop. Has anyone tried these with any success please?

Hi Tina, sorry to hear this, thats really bad of them. The UVB canopies are the best ones to buy & safer. The best company is Much Better Skin (MBS), they are really good, I ordered one online from them last year, very good service, very pleased. https://treatpsoriasistl01uvblamps.co.uk/ My Skin was so bad, but it did improve within a few weeks of using it, but didn't clear up using it over the winter, it usually takes a few winters to improve more each time before clearing up, but even so, its the only thing that helps for me, Ive tried everything. Good luck, hope you improve soon.

Hello folks, Great to read all the success that so many fellow sufferers are having. I have a bit of a general question regarding everyones usage. Are you concerned at all about how many sessions you have to do to keep your psoriasis at bay or do you feel that any small risk is outweighed by the quality of life with clearer skin. I did a run of 30 at the start of the year (so now at about 90 in total including hospital treatments) and my psoriasis has now started to come back so will either wait a while and do another run or might start trying to do maintenance levels. Interested to hear what other peoples approach are. I quite like the idea of getting it clear and then a weekly or bi-weekly to keep it away but that could rack up the qty over a few years. Thanks in advance, cheers, Euan

I have an as new philips tl-01 with 9 perfect authentic philips tubes all working fine available for sale @1200 or nearest offer in Lancashire (listed at £2340 new from MBS) Collection only (or buyer arranges shipping). More than happy to demonstrate it working perfectly on collection. https://treatpsoriasistl01uvblamps.co.uk/shop/canopies/upvc-canopy-with-up-to-9-philips-tl01-narrowband-tubes/ Perfect working order hardly used, selling due to downsizing and simply no room.

Hi Keith - I am interested in the Philips to 01 but it may be quite a long way off for collection (which I'd prefer to posting) as I'm in Leeds. Whereabouts in Lancashire? Thanks Dave

Hi Everyone, I am looking at buying the handheld UVB light from MBS. I keep getting messed around by the hospital for starting UV light therapy so am just getting really frustrated. At the same time I simply cannot afford - nor will likely to be able to afford any time soon - the Canopy. I have pretty low coverage (scalp, elbows knees and a bit of calf) but I see lots of people suggesting that the handhelds don't work at all. So am I better off just forgetting about it? Also for those that have bought them and use them confidently - how did you know what to do? Any experience really useful!

I have hired one out to treat my son & the company said it’s considered safe to use once a year for 20 years without increasing rush of skin cancer. How are you people using it ongoing throughout the year is it not dangerous ? I’m so nervous 😟
