01
What it is
Excimer Laser is a targeted form of UVB light therapy that delivers a concentrated 308 nm wavelength directly to selected vitiligo patches.
Unlike full-body phototherapy, the handheld device focuses treatment on specific affected areas while limiting unnecessary exposure to the surrounding unaffected skin.
02
When can Excimer Laser be considered?
Excimer Laser may form part of a personalised vitiligo treatment plan depending on the location, extent, stability and previous response of the patches.
It may be considered when pigment loss is limited to a few clearly defined areas rather than affecting large parts of the body.
Selected patches on the face or neck may be considered after evaluating skin sensitivity, location and treatment suitability.
The focused applicator allows controlled treatment of smaller patches while reducing exposure to nearby unaffected skin.
Excimer treatment may be discussed when prescribed topical treatment alone has not provided sufficient improvement.
A dermatologist may combine targeted light therapy with prescribed topical medication when clinically appropriate.
The treatment aims to stimulate pigment-producing activity within selected patches, although the degree of response varies.
WHO MAY NEED FURTHER ASSESSMENT
Excimer Laser is not automatically suitable for every person with vitiligo.
The diagnosis of vitiligo has not been confirmed
Pigment loss is extensive or rapidly progressing
The skin is unusually sensitive to ultraviolet light
Medications that increase light sensitivity are being used
The proposed treatment area is irritated, infected or injured

Questions
It is a targeted UVB treatment that delivers a focused 308 nm wavelength to selected areas of affected skin.
Excimer treatment targets individual patches using a handheld device, whereas conventional phototherapy may expose larger areas of the body to UVB light.
It is generally considered for selected localised patches. Suitability depends on their location, extent, duration and activity.
The number and frequency of sessions vary according to the treatment area and individual response. A personalised schedule is created after assessment.
Most patients experience little discomfort. Temporary warmth, redness or sunburn-like sensitivity can occur after treatment.
Pigment return is gradual and varies between individuals. Multiple sessions may be required before noticeable changes appear.
Yes. A dermatologist may combine it with prescribed topical treatment when considered suitable.
No treatment can guarantee permanent repigmentation or prevent new patches. Results and their duration differ between patients.
Downtime is usually minimal, although temporary redness, sensitivity or mild irritation may occur in the treated area.
No. Treatment is recommended only after confirming the diagnosis and assessing the pattern, activity and extent of vitiligo.

PERSONALISED VITILIGO CARE
Precision matters more than intensity.
Excimer treatment is not simply about applying stronger light. Effective planning considers the location, size and activity of each patch together with the patient’s skin response.
At Averah, treatment focuses on controlled targeting, appropriate dose selection and consistent monitoring rather than promising instant or guaranteed pigment return.
