EXCIMER LASER(VITILIGO)

Excimer lasers are a promising option for treating vitiligo, a condition that causes white patches to develop on the skin due to a loss of pigment-producing cells (melanocytes). 

Treatment method:

• Excimer lasers for vitiligo emit a specific type of UVB light at a wavelength of 308 nanometers (nm).
• This targeted UVB light is believed to stimulate the remaining melanocytes to produce more pigment, leading to repigmentation of the affected areas.
• The laser delivers the UVB light in a focused beam, allowing for precise treatment of vitiligo patches while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy skin.

Benefits:

• Excimer lasers to be safe and effective for treating localized vitiligo, particularly on areas like the face and neck.
• Compared to traditional UVB phototherapy, excimer lasers offer a more targeted approach, potentially leading to faster results and reduced side effects.
• It's a relatively painless procedure performed in a doctor's office, often taking less than 30 minutes.

Things to consider:

• While effective for many, excimer laser treatment for vitiligo doesn't guarantee complete repigmentation. The success rate can vary depending on factors like the severity and location of the vitiligo patches.
• Multiple treatment sessions are typically required, spread out over weeks or months, to achieve optimal results.
• It helps to reduces :- VITILIGO, PSORIASIS, ALOPECIS AREATA.
