Solarc Systems Inc Information

Solarc also supplies replacement UVB-Narrowband, UVB-Broadband and UVA ultraviolet bulbs to most of the phototherapy clinics in Canada, and many in the USA and abroad. These are of course the same bulbs that are used in our home phototherapy devices. We are an authorized distributor for Philips medical ultraviolet bulbs , including the new "Narrowband UVB" types such as the TL100W/01. In 2002, we were the first North American phototherapy manufacturer to become ISO-13485 certified . In 2005, after years of effort, we got prescribed UV home phototherapy devices added to the list of allowable Medical Expense Tax Credits in the Canadian federal budget. So if you would like to explore the benefits of home UVB phototherapy further, please surf our website, or give us a call or email. Most dermatologists are familiar with our products. We have an excellent "Standard Information Package" that you can download or request hardcopy. And, if you were wondering, I still use my old trusty Solarc 1760UVB-NB for full body phototherapy, using doses much lower than the dose required to burn my Type II skin. My skin condition is easily controlled using this maintenance strategy. In the winter, I take up to about one (1) minute per side, 3 to 5 times per week maximum, and often less. In the summer, I can sometimes go months without a treatment. If my skin flares, I simply take a few conservative treatments to knock it back down. I also use a 530UVB-NB under my desk to treat psoriasis on the tops and sides of my feet; a condition worsened by the wearing of cycling shoes and plastic ski boots (Scarpa T1). I get regular skin checks and I never get even close to sunburn.
