Excimer for Vitiligo refers to a medical treatment using excimer laser or excimer light to target and repigment areas affected by Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition characterised by the loss of pigmentation, leading to the development of white patches on the skin. Excimer therapy involves the use of a specialised laser that emits a narrow band of ultraviolet B (UVB) light. This targeted light stimulates melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells, to encourage repigmentation in the affected areas. Excimer treatments are typically administered by dermatologists in a controlled medical setting.

What is Excimer for Vitiligo
Understanding Vitiligo
Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disorder where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys melanocytes, resulting in the loss of pigment in certain areas of the skin. This leads to the development of depigmented patches that can appear on any part of the body. Vitiligo can affect individuals of all ages and ethnicities, and while it is not painful or harmful, it can have significant cosmetic and psychological effects on those living with the condition. Treatment options for Vitiligo aim to restore pigmentation to the affected areas. It is a quick and easy procedure with minimal downtime. Successive sessions are often recommended to develop colour slowly in all patches or areas.
Benefits of Excimer for Vitiligo
● Targeted Treatment: Excimer therapy precisely targets depigmented areas, minimising exposure to healthy skin.
● Stimulates Melanin Production: The excimer laser prompts melanocytes to produce melanin, fostering gradual repigmentation.
● Customizable Plans: Dermatologists tailor treatment to individual needs, optimising results for each patient.
● Minimised Side Effects: Compared to systemic treatments, excimer therapy tends to have fewer side effects.
● Convenience and Efficiency: Quick sessions make excimer therapy convenient for busy individuals without significant disruption.
