Vitiligo Treatment

Vitiligo is a condition in which the skin loses its melanin pigment, resulting in white patches on the body. At Skin World Clinic, we offer advanced, evidence-based treatments to restore skin colour, stop the spread of depigmentation, and boost patient confidence.

Treatment Overview

A detailed assessment of the extent, type, and activity of vitiligo is conducted before planning a personalized treatment approach for each patient.

  • Topical Immunomodulators: Calcineurin inhibitors to restore pigmentation in localized patches.
  • NB-UVB Phototherapy: Narrowband UVB light therapy to stimulate melanocyte activity and repigmentation.
  • Excimer Laser: Targeted laser therapy for small, stable vitiligo patches with excellent repigmentation.
  • Surgical Repigmentation: Melanocyte transplant for stable vitiligo not responding to medical therapy.

Benefits of Vitiligo Treatment

With the right treatment approach, significant repigmentation is achievable, improving both skin appearance and patient self-esteem.

  • Restores Skin Colour

    Advanced therapies stimulate melanocyte activity for visible repigmentation.

  • Stops Spreading

    Immunomodulatory treatments arrest the progression of vitiligo to new areas.

  • Boosts Confidence

    Visible improvement in skin tone significantly enhances self-esteem and quality of life.

Patients with localized or generalized vitiligo, especially those in early or active stages, respond best to treatment. Stable vitiligo is ideal for surgical repigmentation options.

After assessing stability and extent of vitiligo, our dermatologist combines phototherapy with topical immunomodulators. Surgical options are considered for stable, unresponsive patches.

Repigmentation is usually visible after 3 to 6 months of phototherapy. Continued treatment for 12 to 18 months yields the best cosmetic outcomes.
