    I'm interested in learning more about this too for my 7 year old.

    Yes we used eximer laser. I never did it at home but I found a dermatologist who provided the service. It worked great! It works better in the summer when it is supported by natural sun rays.

      What is the difference between a hand held NB UVB machine and excimer laser??

      I think the frequency of the light is a little different. Even more narrow if I remember correctly.

    I have no information to share but am considering the same.  Anxious to hear from others...

      Hi Becki, we are going with a company called Daavlin. I spoke with a rep yesterday and she was very helpful in answering questions that I had.  The success rate seems to be pretty high:)  I would give her a call and get some info and then you can make a desicion after you speak with her.  If you google phototherapy, there are a lot of different companies that have phototherapy machines.Daavlin's phone # is 1-800-322-8546x314. The reps name is Tracy.  You can also check out their website, it's www.daavlin.com  I wish you the best and hope that you have success:)  I'll keep you updated.
