* Fitted with 2 x Dermfix 9 Watt UVB 311nm tubes.
* European Approved Class IIa Medical Device.

The product shown here is VAT exempt for customers suffering from "chronic" medical conditions such as Psoriasis, Vitiligo and Atopic Eczema. The definition of "chronic" is that the condition is constant, or recurs frequently. A doctor's note is not necessary and the declaration by yourself, a parent, guardian, doctor or another responsible person is acceptable.

By ordering this product I declare that I am suffering from a chronic disorder (or purchasing on behalf of someone that does), which is being supplied to me for my domestic or personal use and I therefore claim relief from value added tax under Notice 701/7.

Useful research has been published in the British Medical Journal titled:

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"

Red light therapy and narrowband UVB — the same physics, a different part of the spectrum

The 2000SX 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, and our guide to UVB phototherapy sets out how the two families of light differ.

Red light is not a substitute for narrowband UVB phototherapy, and the red light panels are not offered as treatment for any medical condition.
