The unit is fitted with a specially developed narrowband UVB 311nm tube as standard. This model has a choice of lenses - and so can be used with or without a comb attachment.
The use of narrow-band UV-B light at around the 311nm wavelength has been well proven in many clinical trials for the treatment of many common skin conditions.

Useful research has been published in the British Medical Journal titled:
Home versus outpatient ultraviolet B phototherapy for mild to severe psoriasis
Objective: To determine whether ultraviolet B phototherapy at home is equally safe and equally effective as ultraviolet B phototherapy in an outpatient setting for patients with psoriasis.
Conclusion: "Ultraviolet B phototherapy administered at home is equally safe and equally effective, both clinically and for quality of life, as ultraviolet B phototherapy administered in an outpatient setting. Furthermore, ultraviolet B phototherapy at home resulted in a lower burden of treatment and led to greater patients’ satisfaction."

Research from the Department of Dermatology, Eberhard Karls University, Tuebingen, Germany shows:
"the present study does not provide evidence for an increased skin cancer risk for patients treated with either broadband or narrowband UVB phototherapy"

Research from Norway concluded:
"Treatment with a UV-B-comb offers a good alternative to topical corticosteroids for patients with scalp psoriasis."

Red light therapy and narrowband UVB — the same physics, a different part of the spectrum
The 1000MX emits narrowband ultraviolet at 311nm. Dermfix also manufactures red light therapy panels, which emit visible red and near-infrared light between 480 and 1060nm and no ultraviolet at all. A different part of the spectrum for a different purpose — but the same measurement discipline, the same UK warehouse and the same manufacturer since 2009.
Customers who already use a UVB lamp often ask about red light for skin, recovery and joints. Every Dermfix RLF panel publishes its spectrometer-measured output at a stated distance of 15cm, per model rather than per range. Our UK red light panel buyer's guide explains how to compare any panel on the market, including how irradiance figures are inflated and what a UK buyer actually pays once import VAT is accounted for.
Red light is not a substitute for narrowband UVB phototherapy, and the red light panels are not offered as treatment for any medical condition.
