July 2021 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology” The study evaluated the effectiveness of combining transverse needling with autologous mini-punch grafts for repigmentation in 20 patients with stable non-segmental vitiligo. The combined treatment resulted in the fastest and most extensive repigmentation, with a median of 49.6% at 6 months, compared to 38.5% for grafting alone and 33.4% for needling alone. The control group showed only 5.5% repigmentation. Patient satisfaction was highest with the combined treatment, which also had fewer complications and no significant side effects. The study concluded that this combination significantly improved repigmentation outcomes and should be considered in treatment planning for resistant vitiligo lesions.
