Light Therapy For Vitiligo
Understanding Vitiligo and Its Impact
Vitiligo is a skin disorder characterized by the loss of pigmentation, leading to the development of white patches on the skin. While vitiligo is not physically painful, it can be emotionally distressing. Many individuals with vitiligo struggle with self-esteem and body image issues, and are looking for a safe, drug-free treatment option in the San Diego area to restore skin color.
Light Therapy for Vitiligo: A Transformative Approach
Phototherapy, specifically narrowband UVB phototherapy, is a proven first line treatment for vitiligo. It involves exposing the affected skin to carefully calibrated UVB light, stimulating repigmentation and reducing the contrast between affected and unaffected areas.
How Light Therapy Works for Vitiligo:
- Stimulating Melanocyte Activity: Narrowband UVB light encourages the activity of melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This can lead to the progressive return of color to depigmented areas.
- Reducing Inflammation: Phototherapy can help control inflammation in vitiligo-affected skin, facilitating the repigmentation process.
- Minimizing Side Effects: Narrowband UVB phototherapy is a safe treatment with minimal side effects, making it a first line option for those with vitiligo.

Vitiligo Patient Stories
“I’m so happy. My friends tell me my face looks so good. I used to wear a lot of makeup to cover my vitiligo when I went to church or the store because if I didn’t, people would stare at me and it made me so uncomfortable. Now I can go out without any makeup on!”
“This treatment has made a huge difference in my life. As a Beverly Hills physician, how I present to patients is important. I’m much more confident now since I’m no longer worried patients will be distracted by my vitiligo. The results I’ve gained from phototherapy have even positively impacted my marriage. You have no idea how grateful I am.”
