We compared the effects of the 308\u2010nm xenon chloride excimer laser (EL) vs. narrow\u2010band ultraviolet B (NB\u2010UVB) after punch grafting in patients with vitiligo.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Objectives\u2002<\/jats:bold> The aims of this study were to evaluate (i) repigmentation (%); (ii) treatment satisfaction; and (iii) patient preferences for EL vs. NB\u2010UVB therapy after punch grafting in vitiligo.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods\u2002<\/jats:bold> Fourteen patients were treated with the punch\u2010grafting technique on two symmetrical vitiligo patches. Starting 1\u2003week after the punch grafting, the vitiligo patches were treated twice a week during 3\u2003months, with EL on one side and with NB\u2010UVB on the other side. Repigmentation (%) was measured by a digital image analysis system. Patients\u2019 satisfaction and preference for treatment were also assessed.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Whereas both treatment modalities induced repigmentation, no statistically significant difference was found in grade of repigmentation after 3\u2003months. With EL, 71.4% lower cumulative dose was reached. Patients were significantly more satisfied with NB\u2010UVB and preferred it over EL.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> The choice between EL and NB\u2010UVB cannot solely be based on repigmentation, but rather on other factors, such as patients\u2019 preferences. However, given the lower UV dose of EL, we recommend its use in vulnerable populations, such as in small children and patients with sun\u2010damaged skin with a history of long\u2010term UVB treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1468-3083.2011.04147.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,6,30]],"date-time":"2011-06-30T14:52:11Z","timestamp":1309445531000},"page":"690-695","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":51,"title":["A randomized comparison of excimer laser versus narrow\u2010band ultraviolet B phototherapy after punch grafting in stable vitiligo patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"M.W.","family":"Linthorst Homan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ph.
