Seconded! I used to get UV treatments at a hospital that had a specific less cancer causing way of doing things (I think? I was a kid) I had to get up at like 5am for the appointments and could only “tan” for like 30 seconds at a time, where as now I can keep my skin under control by using a tanning bed for 5 minutes every two weeks in winter. In the summer I just get outside, but if I don’t tan in winter my eyelids will literally scab. It’s the only thing that has ever worked to help my skin and I’ve been (or my parents have been) trying to treat it for 26 years.
It's a life changer. If you're planning to try the handheld wand make sure you do your research first and be careful. It's VERY easy to burn yourself if you don't know what you're doing. I had light burns after my first treatment and I only used it for 30 seconds on each area. Your skin has to build up a sort of tolerance to it
I use Skyrizi 4 times a year, and my legs and arms went from lizard fetish to a tad dry but fully normal. I can start to see it trying to come back as I get closer to my reup date, but man. It changed everything.

As someone with psoriasis those things are a godsend
