Where follicular melanocytes are retained these can be stimulated by UV treatments (eg narrowband UVB).
Q switched KTP or ruby lasers can remove colour from adjacent skin areas and ablative fractional treatments can contract the light coloured skin (as with striaedistensae).
Otherwise removal of the epidermis with ActiveFX™ technique and reseeding melanocytes with harvested suction blisters or the Recell™ technique from split skin donor grafts may be required.
The Excimer laser (308nm) has also been used with some success in some cases.
