Combination treatment of 10,600 nm ablative carbon dioxide fractional laser and narrow band UVB in refractory non-segmental vitiligo: A prospective, randomized half-body comparative study

Abstract

Background:  Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmentation disorder caused by the loss of melanocytes. Despite the numerous treatment modalities that are available for vitiligo, responses to treatment are still unsatisfactory. For this reason, new treatment modalities and approaches are needed.


Objectives:  The effects of fractional CO2 laser therapy followed by systemic NB-UVB phototherapy on non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) were investigated as a prospective and randomized left-right comparative study.


Methods:  A total of 10 patients with NSV who presented symmetrical vitiligo lesions with no further improvement despite more than one year of conventional treatment ...
