摘要：

BackgroundVitiligo is an autoimmune dermatological disease characterized by hypopigmented macules.Treatments include topical agents, phototherapy, and laser therapies. Different lasers should be individually chosen regarding location, extent, activity of the disease. AimsThis article aims to demonstrate how blue LED is effective and safe, as its wavelength is very close to the UV spectrum (415 nm vs. 400 nm), but, unlike UV therapy, blue LED have not shown any long-term cancerogenic side effects. Patients/MethodsWe treated 30 patients affected by vitiligo localized on different anatomical areas with blue light-emitting diodes. ResultsComplete repigmentation occurred in 75.33% of treated patients (22 out of 30 patients, 14 males, and 8 females). Partial repigmentation occurred in the remaining patients. ConclusionsBlue LED light may be a safe and well-tolerated way to induce repigmentation in patients affected by vitiligo.
