UVB LASER TREATMENT OF VITILIGO
Vitiligo is a form of leukoderma or loss of skin pigmentation. Vitiligo develops as white spots in the skin that vary in size and location. The spots occur when melanocytes are destroyed, and the production of melanin is no longer possible.
Severe trauma, such as burns, can also destroy pigment cells. Stretch marks, acne scars, and scars from post-surgical or traumatic injuries may also cause a similar loss of pigment.
Until recently, the only treatments available included UV phototherapy and topical or injected corticosteroids, which have demonstrated limited success.
Alma Lasers offers highly effective treatment for vitiligo based on advances in UVB technology. The UVB technology features an ultraviolet high-power targeted phototherapy module that utilizes spectral irradiance in the ultraviolet waveband to target and treat both large and small areas, while minimizing exposure to healthy skin. The UVB module produces short pulses of light in the 270 - 380 nm range, which has been successfully demonstrated to treat leukoderma, including vitiligo.
While most UV therapies require treatments that expose both affected and healthy skin, Alma's UVB technology helps treat only the affected areas, minimizing the risk of injury to surrounding healthy regions and significantly reducing treatment time.
