Abstract

Vitiligo is characterized by white patches on skin due to the loss of melanocytes. Treatments are not uniformly successful and re-pigmentation is rarely complete. Optical laser scanning microscopy techniques have great potential to advance our understanding of the repigmentation process of vitiligo. In this pilot study, we employ in-vivo multiphoton microscopy (MPM) to assess potential changes in the metabolic state of epidermal keratinocytes involved in vitiligo before and throughout treatment, and in-vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) to assess the initiation of the re-pigmentation process and monitor wound healing after micro-grafting treatment.
