## Abstract **Background and Objective** Vitiligo is commonly treated with PUVA, and more recently, narrowβband UVB (NBUVB) phototherapy. Given the proximity of the wavelengths of NBUVB (311Β nm) and the excimer laser (308Β nm), we undertook a clinical trial to test the efficacy of this device. **Me
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives To determine the true efficacy of the 308βnm excimer laser for the treatment of vitiligo, while taking into account confounding factors such as anatomic site of treatment, age, sex, skin type, MED, and duration of evolution of the vitiligo. ## Study Design
## ABSTRACT **Objective** To study the efficacy and safety of monochromatic excimer light (MEL) on 37 vitiligo patients referred to our clinic. **Methods** In a pilot study, 37 patients (17 males, 20 females) with acrofacial (__n__Β =Β 21), focal (__n__Β =Β 11), segmental (__n__Β =Β 1), and generalized
