Follicular Transplantation, Microneedling, and Adjuvant Narrow-band Ultraviolet-B Irradiation as Cost-Effective Regimens for Palmar-Plantar Vitiligo : A Pilot Study
Copyright © 2020, Feily et al..
Treatment of refractory palmar-plantar vitiligo is particularly challenging because the skin in these regions has a limited supply of follicle-derived melanocytic stem cells. Autologous hair transplantation monotherapy is effective in some forms of vitiligo through the provision of melanocytic stem cells. CO2 laser followed by exposure to light (i.e., sunlight or narrow-band ultraviolet-B [nbUVB]) has independently shown to be an effective treatment strategy. Recently, it was found that the combination of hair transplantation and CO2 laser followed by nbUVB exposure had superior efficacy to either modality as monotherapy. Similar to CO2 laser, microneedling produces skin cell proliferation and releases pro-pigmentary cytokines. Given the important role of the cytokines in vitiliginous skin, microneedling may also be an effective therapeutic modality for refractory vitiligo. Herein, we conducted a pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of hair transplantation and CO2 laser or microneedling followed by nbUVB. Microneedling and fractional CO2 laser in combination with hair transplantation and nbUVB both demonstrated utility in the induction of repigmentation in refractory palmar-plantar vitiligo; however, a larger trial would be needed to determine a difference in treatment efficacy. Nonetheless, microneedling is cost-effective and requires minimal training; therefore, microneedling can be easily incorporated into standard dermatological practice.
