What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition in which melanocytes — the cells responsible for producing skin pigment (melanin) — are destroyed, leading to white or depigmented patches on the skin.
It can affect any part of the body, including the face, hands, and scalp, and often has an emotional impact due to its visibility.
Common Areas Affected:
-
Face and around the mouth
-
Hands, fingers, and feet
-
Elbows and knees
-
Scalp and hairline
-
Genital and underarm areas

Types of Vitiligo Treatments
Medical Therapy (Topical & Oral)
Includes corticosteroids, immunomodulators, and vitamin-based medicines to suppress inflammation and restore pigmentation.
Phototherapy (Narrowband UVB Light Therapy)
Controlled UVB light exposure stimulates melanocyte activity and promotes repigmentation over multiple sessions.
Excimer Laser Treatment
Targets smaller depigmented patches precisely with focused UV light, ideal for facial or limited vitiligo.
Melanocyte Transplant (Surgical Option)
For stable vitiligo cases, melanocyte cells are transplanted from normal to affected skin areas for long-term color restoration.
Depigmentation Therapy (for Extensive Vitiligo)
Used in rare cases when most of the skin is affected — helps even out remaining pigmentation for a uniform tone.
Combination Therapy
A personalised approach blending medical, light, and surgical treatments to achieve optimal, natural-looking results.
