Vitiligo patients receive benefit from narrowband phototherapy

Some people notice white patches of skin on face, lips hands and arms as well as other parts of the body.   This condition is called vitiligo.

The specific cause of vitiligo is unknown. These patches are not harmful medically, but many individuals are emotionally affected by the cosmetic effect of their skin. This condition does not go away if left untreated.Contact Us

Phototherapy has proven to be one of the most effective treatments for vitiligo and one that is free of negative side effects when used properly.  Home systems are available for treatments in a comfortable and private environment.   Treatments are usually taken 3 times a week for less than a few minutes.

Generally, patients who respond to narrowband UVB phototherapy can obtain over 90% re-pigmentation within a year.   It seems the longer the condition has been on the body, the longer it takes to re-pigment.

UVBioTek has unique systems to treat small areas of the body as well as larger areas.
