Is lacer good for treating vitiligo ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The excimer laser is good for treating vitiligo especially of the face, and other small areas such as the hands. Some insurance companies cover it. Treatments are scheduled ideally 3x/ week for the first 3 weeks. If responding, it may take 20 - 30 treatments or more. A topical medication called Protopic or elidel cream can also help with vitiligo.
