What are the advantages of Lasers for Vitiligo?

The main advantage of using Vitiliga lasers is the ability to speed up the process of repairing pigmentation. Another advantage of using accurate vitiligo lasers is to avoid serious health conditions associated with the use of corticosteroids and immunomodulators. Lasers can also treat areas that are difficult for conventional vitiligo drugs to achieve. Excimer Laser uses controlled ultraviolet B (UVB) light to treat affected areas of skin by stimulating cells producing melanin or melanocytes in the skin. Patients usually undergo six to 12 laser treatments for vitiligo. When using Vitiligo lasers, some patients experience an accelerated repigmentation process between two to four weeks. Vitiligo conventional treatment usually takes three to 18 months to see noticeable results.

While vitiligo lasers may have smaller side effects, conventcel treatment, such as corticosteroids and immunomodulators, can cause larger and more serious side effects. Local creams or corti ointmentsSkeletids contain anti -inflammatory substances that stop the process of depigmentation. Local corticosteroids can cause leather and acne thinning for a longer period of time. In some cases, corticosteroids may even cause skin cancer development. Immunomodulators modify the response of the immune system to prevent melanocyte destruction; However, long -term use can lead to photoccitation and cancer.

Corticosteroids and immunomodulators are used for small stains, but for hard -to -reach body areas, creams and ointments are not ideal treatment. Skin folds, scalp and genital area are common difficult to treat areas where vitiligo occurs. Palms and soles are also demanding areas that connect creams and mastiter. Excimer Lasers for Vitiligo allow accurate treatment of the above hard to treat areas.

 

The exact nature of excimer lasers for vitilIGO allows treatment in affected areas and leaves normal pigmented skin itself. Excimer lasers have adjustable points sizes ranging from 0.08 inches (2 mm) to 0.71 inches (18 mm), which allow a dermatologist to treat very small and medium areas using the same laser. As a result of the collimated and flat beam, the laser excimer eliminates the surface scattering, improves beam uniformity and penetration. Excimer Laser provides the patient with a highly effective and accurate Vitiligo treatment.

 

Medical studies involving Excimer Laser using a wavelength of 308 nanometers (Nm) showed that 82% of the patches were reported. Usually, when the vitiliga is treated, excimer lasers work on a proven wavelength of 308 Nm compared to the narrow -band treatment of UVB 311 nm to 312 nm. The Excimerlaser has a wavelength range of 126 nm to 351 nm, largely depending on the treated state.
