Vitiligo Surgery

Vitiligo surgery provides a promising solution to restore natural skin tone, helping  embrace your beauty.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where areas of the skin lose pigment due to the immune system attacking melanocytes. It often affects the face, elbows, knees, hands, and feet, and is more noticeable in people with darker skin tones. Vitiligo appears in three patterns:

  • Focal: Depigmentation in one or a few areas.
  • Segmental: Depigmentation on one side of the body.
  • Generalized: Depigmentation across various parts of the body.

 

Treatments typically include topical medications and light therapy, with newer surgical techniques showing high success rates in restoring pigment.

Melanocyte transplantation and Melanocyte Culture

In melanocyte transplantation, melanocytes and keratinocytes (the cells of the top layer of skin) are obtained surgically under local anesthesia from the patient and transplanted immediately into the patches. In melanocyte culture, the cells are separated from a small piece of skin and then grown in a culture in the laboratory. Once grown, the cells are then placed or applied on the skin’s Vitiligo patches. This therapy is administered in-office and best used in areas of limited Vitiligo where the Vitiligo has been stable for at least six months.

Melanocyte transplants have a very high success rate of 95 percent.

Maintenance following surgery

Phototherapy often is used after both skin grafting and melanocyte transplants to stimulate cells to make new pigment faster in treated areas.
