Impacts of Two Laser‐Assisted Epidermal Ablation Techniques on the Efficacy of Autologous Non‐Cultured Epidermal Cell Suspension Transplantation Plus Narrowband Ultraviolet B Phototherapy for the Treatment of Stable Vitiligo: A Retrospective Study
UL can achieve better repigmentation efficacy than KL when used for epidermal ablation during NECS transplantation plus NB-UVB therapy in patients with stable vitiligo. However, regarding adverse events, the UL procedure is more painful and has a higher incidence of mild to moderate persistent erythema during the early postoperative period. Larger studies are required to assess the impacts of various laser de-epidermalization techniques on the efficacy of NECS transplantation for stable vitiligo.
