Abstract
Vitiligo is an acquired pigmentary disorder treated frequently with PUVA and narrowband UVB phototherapy. These total body
treatments are associated with side-effects in the lesional or nonlesional skin. A prospective study using a novel
multiwavelength targeted Intense Pulse Light System UVA1-UVB in association with fluticasone cream was undertaken. Of the ten
patients who participated in the study, only eight completed it. Four patients had grade 1 improvement (1-25%); one had grade
3 (51-75%); two had worsening of the lesions after sun exposure; one had no skin repigmentation.
