Laser treatment is the latest, effective and the quickest treatment currently available. Many treatments are available for vitiligo but people have found the efficacy of this treatment more than the others. This treatment offers a promise of excellent results.

This treatment involves the use of excimer laser and a special fiber optic device which helps in focusing the beam of light on the area affected by vitiligo. It concentrates the light on the affected area keeping under consideration the intensity of light that it is enough to effectively treat the area without risking over exposure to ultraviolet rays.

It works by stimulating the melanocytes (melanocytes are the pigment producing cells which are found) in your skin. When the melanocytes have been stimulated they start production of melanin (pigment that gives color to the skin), this will then help in re-pigmentation.

Recently researchers have discovered that laser therapy when used in combination with tacrolimus ointment gives enhanced and better results. This combination gives better and faster results. As laser therapy is the latest treatment so it is quite expensive.

I will recommend you again that before undergoing any vitiligo treatment you must consult skin specialists as they can help you select a treatment that is better, fits your budget and suits your skin.
