Is Xtrac The Right Treatment For Vitiligo?

I have been undergoing treatment for Vitiligo with Xtrac for the past nine months. I have not seen much improvement. Can Xtrac treatment actually cure loss of pigmentation? I also apply Protopic ointment to the affected parts but I cannot see much improvement. I visit the Dermatologist two or three times a week for the treatment. My email address is: YYYY@YYYY
