Overview

Lasers are effective in treating vitiligo, with the excimer laser showing comparable repigmentation rates to NB-UVB and improved outcomes when combined with calcineurin inhibitors. Ablative lasers are safe and effective for tissue or cell grafts. While Q-switched nanosecond lasers can induce depigmentation, recurrence is common. Despite their effectiveness, laser treatments are expensive and suitable for limited areas.
