Large hospitals use UVB ultraviolet light therapy to treat patients with vitiligo, which usually takes several months of treatment. This costs thousands of dollars and requires a lot of energy and time. Although western medicine treatment is effective, it has a lot of side effects for long-term use! Although Chinese medicine has no side effects, it has a very slow effect. Remember not to use hormonal drugs, it will recur after stopping the drug, and it will worsen the condition.
In contrast, UVB ultraviolet light therapy is safe, effective, and has no side effects.
However, people with UV allergies cannot use it.

How should vitiligo be prevented?
1 Enhance physical fitness. Mental relaxation: long-term anxiety, nervousness, unpleasant mood, etc. can stimulate the disease, so patients should be cheerful and open-minded

2 Attention to the environment: dampness in the rain, rain, cold, exposure, friction, etc. may induce vitiligo

3 to prevent infection: frostbite, burns and other trauma can lead to vitiligo

4 Consolidation treatment: After the clinical recovery of vitiligo patients, their immunity and microcirculatory disorders have not returned to normal. Therefore, after the clinical recovery, that is, after the white spots disappear completely, a course of treatment should be consolidated.

UVB ultraviolet phototherapy for the treatment of vitiligo principle:
1. By using ultraviolet therapeutic apparatus, the cytoskeleton and morphological changes of antigens in the epidermis can be induced, and the surface markers can be lost. The proliferation of hair follicle melanocytes can also be shifted upwards, and the reduced melanin can be oxidized under the action of light. It is melanin, which also destroys thiol compounds in the skin and activates tyrosinase activity.
2, ultraviolet therapy instrument and drug combination treatment of vitiligo also received good results. It is proved that UV treatment can improve the curative effect and reduce the risk of carcinogenesis, which can reduce the related adverse reactions, reduce the number of treatments, and have better compliance.
3, through the high-intensity irradiation of ultraviolet therapeutic apparatus, can stimulate the recovery function of melanocytes, rapidly promote the regeneration of melanin granule cells in the short-term; adjust the body immunity and neuroendocrine, promote blood circulation, improve blood microcirculation. After treatment, the skin of the patient's affected area gradually changes from red to dark red to dark brown and finally to normal skin.
