1,Buy new, from a trusted source. Used devices from cut-price or auction sites may or may not be safe or of good quality; your health is surely too important to trust to chance.

2,Look for a reputable brand from a well-known manufacturer (Kernel UVB is world best selling of home use UV phototherapy devices. Which passed CE certificate and FDA approved).

3,Choose a device of the correct size and power to treat the extent of your condition. For example, if your vitiligo or psoriasis is localised a hand-held device is ideal. If it is moderately widespread a small panel unit would probably be sufficient. But if most of your body is affected, then a full body panel may be your best choice. Obviously, the bigger and more powerful the unit, the more expensive it will be, so it makes sense not to select a product that is designed for a level of treatment that you don't actually need.

4,Where possible, choose a product with built-in safety features. For example, integrated timers will not allow you to operate the unit without first setting the timer. Separate timers, on the other hand, can result in the user forgetting to set the treatment time and receiving the wrong exposure as a result.
