Linear psoriasis

I’m considering using Philips light treatment from Skin Matters (Bristol) but cannot find any reviews on website. Has anyone used this company??

have had p for too many years

Hi I looked at their products and tried to find reviews but there weren’t any and no Facebook page. So I am now looking at MBS phototherapy as I have read good reviews and they are on Facebook which is good for positives & negatives. They also do interest free finance. I’m looking at a 9 tube unite which is within my budget. It’s has 7 UVB tubes which are the ones that clear the skin as they are powerful and there are 2 RUVA tubes which are not as strong.

Thank you andrea, yes I am slightly dubious about no reviews etc. I will look at MBS. I’m also concerned that after light treatment it comes back worse ?!

I have been using a UVB light treatment unit for 4 weeks now from Skin Matters (Bristol) I’ve hired it for 8 weeks costing £255. Paul the Director delivered it free of charge and will collect it after use. This is the cheapest & most convenient of all 3 companies in the UK. However, after just 4 weeks (90 seconds, 3 x per week) there hasn’t been no visible improvement. I understand it can take a while to show any progress. Fingers crossed it will clear after 4 more weeks ? Has anyone else with linear P had successful results? Forever hopeful 🤞🏻 Michelle

Hi I have had my UVB light unit from Skin Matters Bristol for a month. The delivery was good they phoned half hour before arrival and set it up and gave me a book on times etc. I started at 30 seconds 3 times a week. I am now up to 2 minutes 3 times a week. My guttate on my body has completely gone and on tops of legs. I have a couple of small patches on my calves so I stand on a foot stool so I am higher up. So glad I got this we worth the money even if only for summer use!
