Currently, the treatment of vitiligo is based both on the arrest of the progression of active disease and on the stimulation of the skin repigmentation. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of autologous micrografts and narrowband ultraviolet B (NBUVB) phototherapy for skin repigmentation of patients with bilateral stable vitiligo. Autologous micrografts are derived from mechanical disaggregation of small pieces of the patient\u2019s own skin, while phototherapy is a strategy treatment already used. Twenty patients with stable bilateral vitiligo were treated, showing a mean percentage rate of 59.1% at baseline. Combined treatment by autologous micrografts and NBUVB was performed only on the lesions of the hands, and the clinical follow up was performed after 3 and 6\u00a0months by photographs taken under Wood\u2019s light. After 6\u00a0months, we classed 100% of patients as responders. We also reported a mean of repigmentation rate of 36.7% after 3\u00a0months and 64.6% after 6\u00a0months of treatment. In particular, six of the 20 patients reached a marked repigmentation rate (75\u2013100%), four moderate (51\u201375%) and 10 mild (26\u201350%). No adverse effects were observed and no drugs were administrated as co\u2010adjuvant therapy. These results are suggestive of a potential wide use of autologous micrografts associated with NBUVB phototherapy for the treatment of stable vitiligo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1346-8138.15564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,21]],"date-time":"2020-09-21T02:36:55Z","timestamp":1600655815000},"page":"1417-1423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Effects
