I've had UV treatments at the doctor's office, as well as experience with tanning beds when I was younger. It partly depends on your skin coloring as for how long to start with. I think I had about enough time to sneeze my first visit at the doctor's office, seriously ... it was only for a couple minutes. Of course the bulbs there are probably very strong. Tanning beds always wanted to start me at around 5 minutes, even after telling them I do not burn easily even though I'm fair skinned.

Point being, it's going to be different for different people (no matter what the instructions say) I think it's better to ask a doctor's opinion but if you are going to go ahead, I would start very slowly.
