How effective are home phototherapy/UV units for Vitiligo?

Vitiligo

Home phototherapy for vitiligo is something that I do find effective in my practice. I'll tell you. During the COVID pandemic, home phototherapy helped a lot of my patients because they couldn't come to the office. We had restrictions on how many people you could let in. We had patients who didn't want to come in even if they could. And home phototherapy certainly helped many of them continue in their treatment. Do I think in office phototherapy is better? Well, it depends on the, and it depends on your treatment outcome. But yes, home phototherapy has been something very helpful, and it continues to be an important part of my therapeutic armamentarium.
