Narrowband UVB light, or Phototherapy, can help create repigmentation. It is

currently considered the "gold standard" treatment when vitiligo covers 20% or more

of the body. This process is slow, working from the outer edges of each patch inward,

so regular vitiligo light therapy twice a week for a year or more. Phototherapy

equipment has been well-studied and has been proven to be an effective treatment for

vitiligo. Phototherapy vitiligo light treatment is generally well-tolerated in both

adults and children.
