Although narrowband\u2010ultraviolet B (NB\u2010UVB) phototherapy remains one of the safest and effective treatment modalities, the cost and logistics related to the access and high cost of therapy delivered artificially via devices\/chambers become highly restrictive. The use of topical Photocil\u00ae, a novel topical band\u2010pass filter cream (TBFC), that selectively filters solar radiation, biasing toward delivery of 311\u2013313\u00a0nm (action spectrum of NB\u2010UVB) to the treated lesions, following the exposure of TBFC\u2010smeared lesions to natural sunlight offsets many aforementioned limitations of artificial phototherapy. The non\u2010inferior efficacy of Photocil\u00ae as an alternative to artificial NB\u2010UVB has recently been reported in patients with lighter skin phototypes (SPT) with non\u2010segmental vitiligo and psoriasis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To demonstrate the high efficacy\u2010cum\u2010safety of the novel approach in repigmenting treatment\u2010refractory segmental vitiligo (SV) in an adult man with SPT\u2010V and discuss the essentials of successful administration of NB\u2010UVB using this approach.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The baseline clinical details and therapeutic outcome of 12\u2010week protocol of TBFC\u2010assisted NB\u2010UVB (with details of step\u2010by\u2010step administration including precautions) in SV of the aforementioned patient are discussed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Up to 75% repigmentation without any remarkable adverse effects was noted with persistent efficacy over the next 12\u00a0weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The device\u2010free home\u2010based TBFC\u2010assisted NB\u2010UVB delivery using natural sunlight offers a viable, convenient, and cost\u2010effective alternative to artificial phototherapy for successful treatment of vitiligo; with its utility proven even in SV that too in individual(s) with darker SPT.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jocd.14215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,12]],"date-time":"2021-05-12T09:04:40Z","timestamp":1620810280000},"page":"2141-2147","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Topical Band\u2010pass Filter Cream (TBFC)\u2010assisted home\u2010based NB\u2010UVB: A must\u2010know Alternative to artificial phototherapy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7444-4956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sidharth","family":"Sonthalia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology &amp; Dermatosurgery Skinnocence: The Skin Clinic &amp; Research Center Gurugram India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)60763-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jdv.12619"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.0906-6705.2004.00221.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-4362.2003.01683.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/dth.12079"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1517\/14656566.2014.978287"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","unstructured":"WHAT IS PRESILUXTM.https:\/\/www.presilux.com\/#about.
