308-nm excimer lamp for the treatment of alopecia areata: Clinical trial on 16 cases
Indian Journal of Dermatology, 2013 Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is considered as a T-cell mediated autoimmune disorder. The 308-nm excimer laser is thought to be capable of inducing T-cell apoptosis in vitro, suggesting that the 308-nm excimer lamp (not laser) might be effective for ...
