Can vitiligo be treated with laser

summary

Vitiligo is a very difficult disease to treat. In order to improve my condition, I tried many methods, such as laser, and the effect depends on the actual situation. Let's see if vitiligo can be treated by laser.

Can vitiligo be treated with laser

First of all: laser treatment of vitiligo is the use of light. The light contains ultraviolet rays, including long wave ultraviolet rays. It is known that ultraviolet can activate tyrosinase in melanin and enhance its activity, which is manifested by the increase of melanocytes per unit area, the vigorous formation and rapid movement of melanosomes. Therefore, ultraviolet is the power of melanocytes to produce melanin. So we can use laser to treat vitiligo.

Secondly, some lasers, such as argon ion laser and helium hydrogen laser, can emit ultraviolet rays with effective wavelength for the treatment of vitiligo, which can be used for the treatment of vitiligo.

Finally: although its effect may be stronger than black light irradiation, it should be combined with local or systemic medication to improve the overall effect of the treatment of vitiligo.

matters needing attention

Daily life as far as possible less contact with irritant things, such as: soap, washing powder, hair dye and other chemicals. Vitiligo is very easy to relapse of the disease, to do a good job in usual nursing measures, reduce the probability of recurrence.
