How We Treat Vitiligo

At Vasavi Skin and Hair Clinic, our board-certified dermatologists develop a comprehensive treatment strategy for vitiligo, aiming to achieve the following objectives:

  • Restore the lost skin color.
  • Halt the progression of patches and spots, preventing them from enlarging.
  • Proactively prevent the emergence of new spots on the skin.

Our Vitiligo Treatment approach may include: 

Phototherapy: Exposure to UVB light to stimulate pigment production. 

Topical Steroids: Applied to affected areas to reduce inflammation and encourage repigmentation. 

Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors: Suppresses the immune response and promotes repigmentation. 

Micropigmentation: Tattooing techniques to create the illusion of pigment in depigmented areas. 

Transformative Solutions for Restoring Skin Color in Vitiligo

The primary goal is to restore skin color, especially when other treatments prove ineffective. In cases where conventional approaches fall short, surgical interventions may be considered. Vasavi Skin Center Surgery offers two main types of surgeries for treating vitiligo:

  1. Skin Graft: Dermatologic surgeons remove healthy, pigmented skin and transplant it to areas affected by vitiligo. This procedure involves taking skin from one area of the body and grafting it onto the depigmented regions.

  2. Cell Transplant: In this surgical procedure, dermatologic surgeons extract healthy, pigmented skin. Instead of grafting the entire skin piece, the surgeon isolates cells from the removed skin. These cells are then placed into the vitiligo-affected skin. Re-pigmentation typically occurs within six months, with some patients experiencing continued improvement for up to 12 months post-surgery.

Excimer laser

At Vasavi Skin and Hair Clinic, Excimer lasers, also known as XTRAC, stand out as a popular laser treatment choice for addressing vitiligo. This specific type of treatment utilizes a high-energy beam of ultraviolet (UV) light, known as UVB, with a wavelength of 308 nanometers (nm) to effectively treat localized vitiligo.

For individuals who may not have responded well to other treatments such as topical creams or lotions, Excimer laser therapy can be a viable option. While the precise mechanism of action for excimer lasers is not fully understood, scientists believe that the UVB light employed can enhance the immune response and stimulate the production of melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin pigment.

During the procedure, dermatologists at our clinic use a wand-like device to apply the UVB light directly to the affected skin areas, facilitating the restoration of color to pale regions. The treatment is generally painless, with sessions lasting less than half an hour. Dermatologists may recommend attending laser treatment sessions twice weekly for 4-6 months, though individual plans may vary.

The excimer laser offers several advantages:

  1. Precise Treatment: The laser specifically targets affected areas without exposing surrounding skin to radiation.
  2. Versatility: Dermatologists can use the excimer laser in challenging-to-treat areas, such as the ears and genital regions.
  3. Customizable Approach: Different templates can be employed based on the specific areas being treated.
  4. Safe for Children: The excimer laser is considered safe for use on pediatric patients.
