Need to Know

Alberta Healthcare card

Some form of ID

List of all the medications you are on, including OTC and topicals. This is very important.

We will show you how the light room works. 

We will provide you (for a fee) with UV light protective glasses, unless you purchased your own. 

Wear easy clothing. Actual treatment lasts less than a minute, so the quicker you can undress and dress, the quicker you are done. 

Bring Flip Flops

Bring Suntan lotion to apply afterwards

If you miss by a day or 2, we may not need to adjust treatment. 

If you miss by more than 2 days, we will dial your treatment back a bit. 

If you miss for a prolonged period (you went on holiday), we will start at the beginning again. 

In your youth, do you burn or tan in the sun? Or do you first burn than tan?​

Does your condition improve with sun exposure? 

Do you get a rash from the sun?

Do everything in the booth the same as previously. Expose the same skin areas, use the same lotions.

Let us know how you reacted to previous treatment. 

Let us know if your medical history or medications have changed. 

Goggles, Flip Flops and Suntan lotion!

That depends on your condition. 

How are you responding? It does not work for everyone. A trial of usually about 20 treatments will give us a good idea as to whether this treatment is for you or not. 

If you skin is clear, we will go to a maintanance schedule of once a week or less. Some conditions, such as psoriasis, we may even stop alltogether and see how your skin behave. Others, such as vitiligo, may allow you to stop altogether once your skin has settled.
