Vitiligo Surgery

Vitiligo is also known as ‘leucoderma’. It is an auto-immune condition and may have a genetic predisposition. Treatment of vitiligo usually takes a long time. Medical treatment helps arrest the spread of depigmentation and in some cases, may bring back the pigmentation.

In majority of the cases, medical therapy only achieves stabilization of the vitiligo patch but fails to cause repigmentation. However, repigmentation in cases of ‘stable vitiligo’ can be achieved by various dermato surgical techniques.
