White spots on the skin, such as vitiligo and hypopigmentation, are diseases that are often accompanied by impaired melanin synthesis. There are several treatment methods available. One of these methods is the photobiological method, which is a widely used method of removing skin blemishes. Melanin can be produced by photosynthesis using ultraviolet light, but this method is time-consuming and has some disadvantages. Burns and other spots appear on the skin, and the patient is severely worn out. Based on this, it is worth recommending electrophoresis to patients to remove these spots. Electrophoresis is a physiotherapeutic procedure that uses an electric current to infiltrate active ingredients into the skin, producing therapeutic effects. This article discusses the effects of electrophoresis on skin improvement in the treatment of white spots.
