Brief Summary  
Vitiligo is characterized by depigmented macules causing cosmetic disability, which results in great psychosocial stress. Many treatment methods are available for vitiligo. Many a time, medical therapy alone is not satisfactory.
308-nm excimer laser has proved to be effective in the treatment of limited vitiligo. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product having a large concentration of platelets which  contains variety of growth factors which may stimulate melanocyte proliferation and re-pigmentation in the vitiligo lesions. Though there are studies about Excimer Laser or Platelet rich Plasma in vitiligo individually, there are no studies regarding combination of 308-nm excimer laser with platelet rich plasma in the treatment of stable vitiligo lesions from India. Hence, this study will add value to the literature.
