I bought a 6 tube (6' lamps) narrow band UVB light unit a few yeas ago used for $800. People here say it's risky, but my research showed it is pretty safe. NB UVB works at one particular frequency (211 I think) and doesn't penetrate through the first layer of skin. UVA is what the hospitals use. It is potentially dangerous and penetrates through the 1st and 2nd layers of skin.

I expose my skin for around 6-8 minutes both front and back. I find it hard to do it regularly as standing in front of it for 15 minutes is very boring. I trimmed a Halloween mask so I can expose my hair line while protecting my face. I cover up below with a black sock.
