HI everyone i have had light treatment but only work while i was using it as soon as the hospital stopped it because you are only allowed so much because of skin cancer risk as they stopped it it was nearly gone from my boby but came back quickly within a few months . Neil

My son has just finished a course of light treatment. He went 3 times a week for 13 weeks. At first he only had a few seconds, this built up to just over 6 minutes towards the end. The results are amazing. My advise would be give it a go.

@Bon1957 This is quite late, but could you explain what happened after you went off the therapy? You had worse flare ups than before you started? I'm a bit worried about this happening to me too. Thank you :)
