Introduction
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) are
damaged or lost, resulting in white patches on different areas of the body. Although
vitiligo is not contagious or life-threatening, it can affect a person's appearance and
confidence.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help manage the condition and improve
repigmentation in many patients.
What is Phototherapy?
Phototherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled ultraviolet (UV) light to stimulate melanocytes and encourage the return of natural skin pigmentation. It is commonly recommended for patients with widespread or progressive vitiligo and is performed under medical supervision.
