Excimer Laser

Targeted Phototherapy for Vitiligo, Psoriasis & Other Skin Disorders

5 min read

Excimer Laser is an advanced targeted phototherapy treatment that delivers a specific wavelength of ultraviolet light (308 nm) directly to affected skin areas. It is commonly used for the treatment of vitiligo, psoriasis, and certain other inflammatory skin conditions. Unlike conventional phototherapy, Excimer Laser treats only the affected skin while sparing the surrounding normal skin, allowing precise and effective treatment with minimal UV exposure.

Conditions Treated

•Vitiligo

•Localized Psoriasis

•Alopecia Areata

•Chronic Eczema (selected cases)

How Does Excimer Laser Work?

•The laser delivers focused 308 nm UVB light directly to the affected area. This helps:

•Stimulate repigmentation in vitiligo

•Reduce inflammation in psoriasis and eczema

•Promote hair regrowth in selected cases of Alopecia Areata

•Accelerate improvement in localized resistant lesions

•Because only the affected skin is treated, higher therapeutic doses can be delivered safely and effectively.

Excimer Laser for Vitiligo

Excimer Laser is particularly useful for patients with localized vitiligo. It stimulates melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) and promotes repigmentation of white patches. It is especially effective for lesions on the face, neck, and other cosmetically sensitive areas.

It may be used alone or in combination with topical medications and vitiligo surgery for optimal results.
