How is Solius different from unregulated UVB lamps?
Solius was designed and tested to deliver UVB light therapy safely at home. Here are a few of the features and evidence that set it apart:
- Personalized dosing: A built-in skin sensor measures your skin and calculates a personalized dose for you, instead of a single exposure time based on a general skin type category.
- Precise light: UVB LEDs with a targeted peak at 293 nm, with 95% of light output within the UVB action spectrum and consistent light output across the therapy area.
- Dynamic positioning: Distance sensing helps you stay at the right distance for every Solius therapy session, visual guidance in the mobile app, and automatic shutoff if you're not properly positioned.
- Protective eyewear: Validated UVB protective eyewear is included, and in-app detection helps ensure your eyes are protected during therapy.
- Controlled usage: A required rest period between sessions helps prevent overexposure.
- Clinical evidence: In a randomized controlled study published in Anticancer Research, Solius users saw an average 76% increase in vitamin D levels from baseline, with no serious adverse events.
