How many light treatments do you require before seeing an improvement

I won the lottery of 4 diseases and a slipped disk in one month. I'm always told that's the most extreme case I've seen. But chins Up!

Depends on how bad it is. My experience was that the start off with a low dose to get your body used to it and then increases with time. There is a max amount of sessions you can have for your own safety. Is this on the NHS?

Yes on NHS

I bit the bullet and bought a canopy after waiting over a year for NHS therapy. Two weeks in following the guide lines and my forearms are looking smoother. Happy to report back as I go along. Sandie

Thank you. Yes please. I have an appointment with hospital but as going on holiday a couple of weeks later not sure if they will give it to me.

Hi Paddy - update as promised. I have a 9 tube canopy used upright. I started on 5th March with 30 seconds each side. (it’s the outside of my limbs that are mostly affected). With no redness or tingling I was at 4 minutes after 6 sessions and 12 sessions on I can hardly believe the improvement. My skin is smooth for the first time in years and almost healed on my elbows and there’s huge improvement on my thighs. I didn’t use the Enstilar or Exorex to properly trial the canopy. Just used DoubleBase after each session. It was a considered purchase but worth giving up sunshine holidays that only gave relief for a couple of weeks once home. Hope this helps. Sandie

Thanks. Are you still allowed to go in the sunshine

Yes, but with caution in case of burning while having the sessions. After that just as normal I think. Good luck Sandie
