Anyone tried PUVA treatment?

[annapecia]

My dermatologist has suggested I try PUVA treatment. Has anyone out there given it a go? I'm in two minds because (a) I suspect it won't work (b) it's time consuming and (c) the side effects of burning sound none too appealing! Is it worth it? I have pretty much no hair - so almost Universalis. Thanks all.

Hi annapecia,

I tried UVA treatment which I think is similar if not the same. Unfortunately for me it didn't work but it did give me a nice tan with a bit of burning :(. It was also very time consuming as I had 3 sessions a week. For me I don't feel it was worth it but if you think you might get to a stage where you think what if... then it might be worth giving it a go just so you don;t look back and wonder.

Hi Vicky

Many thanks for the insight - it's pretty much as I would expect. I'm not sure I can really be bothered to try but there's the 'what if' part of me which is tempted!
