Treating Vitiligo with UVB Light – Restoring Your Skin’s Natural Pigment

Vitiligo can significantly affect both your self-confidence and overall quality of life. Although there is currently no universal “cure” for vitiligo, modern dermatological research offers hope in the form of UVB therapy. This method utilises 311 nm wavelength radiation, which stimulates pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) to produce melanin, thereby helping repigment affected areas.

How Does UVB Therapy Work?

  • Targeted Radiation (311 nm): A specific UVB wavelength is used, optimally stimulating the pigment cells (melanocytes).
  • Activation of Melanocytes: UVB light supports melanin production, gradually leading to the repigmentation of white patches.
  • Immunomodulatory Effect: UVB regulates autoimmune processes, which are often responsible for the further spread of vitiligo.
  • Anti-inflammatory Action: It helps reduce inflammation and skin irritation, thereby promoting better healing.
  • Long-lasting Results: With regular application, repigmentation can become stable and sustained over time.

Why Consider UVB Therapy?

  • Non-invasive and Gentle Method: Compared to more radical approaches (e.g., certain medications or surgical interventions), UVB therapy is generally well tolerated and less taxing on the body.
  • Visible Results: Many patients experience gradual repigmentation within just a few weeks of consistent use.

What to Know Before You Begin

Real-life Stories and Medical Recommendations

Many vitiligo patients report positive experiences with UVB therapy, noting that their white patches gradually regained colour and the spread of vitiligo slowed. Dermatologists worldwide consider UVB at 311 nm to be the “gold standard” for vitiligo treatment, thanks to its effective stimulation of pigmentation.
