Letter: Association of targeted intense pulse light system UVA1-UVB and fluticasone in the treatment of vitiligo: Prospective study of 10 patients.

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.
