Treatment times can vary widely due to factors like health, genetic makeup, and where the spots appear. Here's what you need to know:

  • Early Treatment is Key: Catching new spots within the first 6-8 weeks can dramatically improve outcomes.
  • Location Matters: Spots on the face and upper body repigment faster than those on hands and feet.
  • Patience Pays Off: Expect to wait 3-4 months to start seeing results. Full benefits from treatments like nb-UVB phototherapy can take 8-16 months.
  • Supplements: Ingredients like Ginkgo Biloba may speed up treatment slightly but consult your doctor first due to potential drug interactions.
  • Consistency is Crucial: Whether it’s topical treatments or light therapy, sticking to your regimen is essential for success.
