Can you please tell me about light therapy and vitiligo ? thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very promising.: Light therapy is used with some degree of success. It works best in early or localized vitiligo. It can take quite a few treatments to see results and time wise, treatment can be 2-3 times weekly for months.There are some fine points to the treatment and for best advice, consult with a dermatologist.
