Does Repigmentation That Comes From Uvb Therapy Last ?
Anxhela hello! UVB phototherapy works by stimulating melanocytes,
the cells in the skin that produce pigment. In areas with depigmentation, these cells are either absent or dysfunctional. When exposed to UVB rays, melanocytes become more active, which leads to the production of melanin. This process is essential for initiating repigmentation and restoring color to the affected skin.
Treatment is usually given twice a week for 3β4 months, and continued until re-pigmentation is complete or for 1β2 years. It may take several months to see an improvement.
In most patients, repigmentation
is permanent. However, increased pigmentation
(tanning) may occur in all exposed areas, and this tanning may persist for weeks to months after treatment is discontinued.

Sure! Anytime!
Thank you so much
My daughter uses this DermaPal. Itβs small and it has a comb attachment for the hair if you need it but it also doubles as the perfect distance to hold the light from the skin. Itβs simple to use.
Can you post a picture of your UV device to see which one you are using.
I Started Using Opzelura. Curious If Anyone Else Is Using It? How Long Have You Used It And Have You Seen Any Results?
Can I Use Red And/or Purple Light For Wrinkles? Or Will It Make Vitiligo Worse? Also, Could I Do Lasers??
