    Studysummary This study reported that fire needle therapy improved skin lesions, increased melanocyte numbers, and boosted melanin levels in a vitiligo mouse model by upregulating the Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway, suggesting its potential role in treating vitiligo through promoting pigmentation.
