Abstract:
Use of the 308 nm Excimer laser to treat hypopigmentation and vitiligo is usually superior to conventional ultraviolet (UV) therapy with regard to results and safety. It is particularly advantageous because specific areas of skin can be targeted without burdening the rest of the skin. Fewer sessions with lower cumulative doses are required. Various combination therapies can improve the outcome; selection criteria such as early initiation of treatment and more frequent sessions with shorter intervals make it easier to decide which patients should be treated and how to achieve the greatest benefit.
