Phototherapy for vitiligo, what’s new?
Andrea PARO VIDOLIN, Caterina AURIZI, Giovanni LEONE ✉
San Gallicano Dermatological Institute, IRCCS, Rome, Italy
Vitiligo is a disorder characterized by the development of depigmented macules and patches. Existing treatments include topical and systemic immunosuppressants, topical vitamin D analogues in monotherapy or in association with phototherapy, phototherapy and surgical techniques, which together may serve to halt disease progression, stabilize depigmented lesions, and encourage repigmentation. Narrow-band UVB (NB-UVB 310-315 nm) radiation is now considered as the “gold standard” for the treatment of diffuse vitiligo. This article provides a brief overview of the different phototherapy based treatments in vitiligo.
