Abstract

The Authors discuss their experience in treating non-responder vitiligo patients with a UVA-1 laser. Laser Alba 355Â® is an innovative device of target UVA - 1 phototherapy. The present report suggests that UVA1 laser could be an applicable therapeutic option in patients with vitiligo, also for the ones who did not respond to the more conventional phototherapies.
