Abstract
BACKGROUND: Microneedling was initially introduced for skin rejuvenation. This review analyzes the current literature on microneedling techniques, efficacy, and safety for vitiligo treatment. METHODS: An extensive PubMed search was performed to identify literature on microneedling therapy for vitiligo. Case reports, case series, and clinical trials were included. RESULTS: All 14 articles evaluated showed improvement of lesions after microneedling treatment. Combination of microneedling and topical tacrolimus, 5-FU, topical calcipotriol and betamethasone, NB-UVB with or without PDT, and triamcinolone acetonide solution yielded more efficacy than microneedling monotherapy. CONCLUSION: Microneedling is a safe and efficient technique and an adjuvant treatment for vitiligo treatment.
