Has Anyone Else Ordered A Home Phototherapy "machine"?

A MyVitiligoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Clinton Township, MI

Dr. Lim just approved this for me as it is 40 minutes to treatment each way and getting harder with work. I am just wondering if it will be a big machine as well, how would I operate it alone, and where would I put it?

Would love to hear from someone who has done this.

And - I am not even sure yet if my insurance will cover it yet.

Have a great day!
