Episode notes
Vitiligo Led To A Lifetime In Light
- Kris Sweeting developed a personal relationship with light therapy after repigmenting his vitiligo using topical pseudocatalase plus narrowband UVB.
- He grew up using tanning beds at home and repigmented most of his body within one to two years.
Use Minimal Erythema Doses
- Aim for a minimal erythema dose (slight pink) when using UVB for vitamin D or therapy rather than prolonged exposure.
- For Ben's skin example, Kris estimated around three to five minutes on his device to hit that minimal response.
The Sun Sandwich Concept
- Red light in the morning preconditions skin by thickening the stratum corneum and reduces UV harm later in the day.
- Red light at sunset resolves acute inflammation caused by afternoon UV, forming a protective "sun sandwich" routine.
