Vitiligo Surgery
Vitiligo is a condition that causes white patches on the skin due to the loss of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. While medical treatments like topical creams and phototherapy can help in some cases, surgical treatment offers excellent results for stable vitiligo—especially when the condition hasn’t progressed for over 6–12 months. At SkinMD Clinic, we offer advanced and evidence-based vitiligo surgeries that restore natural skin color and help patients regain their confidence.
What Causes Vitiligo?
Vitiligo occurs when melanocytes—the cells responsible for skin pigment—are destroyed or stop functioning. This leads to patchy loss of pigmentation. Several factors may contribute:
-
Autoimmune Response: The immune system mistakenly attacks pigment-producing cells.
-
Genetics: Family history increases the risk of vitiligo.
-
Skin Injuries or Sunburn: Trauma may trigger vitiligo in susceptible individuals.
-
Chemical Exposure: Certain chemicals may damage melanocytes over time.
-
Associated Conditions: Vitiligo is sometimes linked with autoimmune thyroid disorders and diabetes.
Why Consider Professional Vitiligo Surgery?
1) Targeted Pigment Restoration:
Surgical techniques allow restoration of pigmentation precisely in affected areas, helping improve both appearance and confidence.
2) Long-Lasting Results:
Unlike topical or light-based therapies that may have limited success, surgical treatments often offer long-term or permanent pigment restoration.
3) Suitable for Stable Vitiligo:
Surgery is ideal for patients with stable, non-progressive vitiligo, particularly in cosmetically sensitive areas like the face, hands, and genitals.
4) Multiple Surgical Options:
Professional dermatologists can determine the best procedure for your skin type, lesion size, and area involved.
