White spots on the body, also known as ‘Vitiligo’ is a chronic health problem in which skin loses its original colour. Due to that, the specific parts of the skin begin to appear milky-white. The exact reasons for vitiligo are unknown. The body’s own immune system when it mistakenly starts to destroy the body’s pigment cells taking them as threats. It can also be hereditary.

Complete Vitiligo Removal
Vitiligo is a condition where white spots appear on the skin due to the loss of melanin. Dermacian offers treatments like micro-pigmentation, punch grafting, excimer laser, and blister grafting to manage this condition.
While Dermacian aims for complete vitiligo removal, it’s important to understand that results can vary based on individual cases. Consultation with their dermatologists can provide more personalized information.
Vitiligo is a chronic condition where skin loses its pigment, resulting in milky-white patches. It’s believed to occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks pigment cells. It can be more noticeable and impactful on dark-skinned individuals.
This cosmetic procedure implants pigment into the skin’s dermal layers to camouflage white spots, blending them with the surrounding skin tone.
It’s a surgical technique where small pieces of pigmented skin are transplanted to vitiligo-affected areas. It’s effective for small, stable patches.
There is currently no cure for vitiligo, but there are some methods which can be useful to treat vitiligo. For cases where spontaneous recovery does not occur, there are various treatments available that might help even out the skin tone under the guidance of your dermatologist.
Though there are many theories, the most acceptable concept is that vitiligo is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks and destroys the melanocytes. This lack of melanin leads to the development of white patches on the skin and hair.
Symptoms include:
Spots and patches of lighter skin that may turn white.
Lighter patches may also appear inside the mouth or any other mucosal areas.
Affected areas may sunburn and get redness easily. You can also feel itchy sometimes in the patches.
Hair in the affected area, including eyelashes, eyebrows, or scalp hair, may turn white.
The best treatment for vitiligo varies depending on individual factors like the age of the patient, extent of the condition, affected areas, and personal preferences. Common treatments include:
Medication:
Includes topical creams such as corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors that help in repigmentation by affecting the immune system. These are usually used for areas of recent or mild vitiligo. Oral medications are also available but may have more systemic effects.
Excimer Laser:
Uses focused UV light, effective especially for the face and all body parts. It may require multiple sessions.
Micropigmentation (artificial skin pigment):
Best for small stable areas, especially on the face, but the color match may vary over time.
Vitiligo Surgery:
Suitable for stable vitiligo where topical treatments and light therapy haven’t worked. It involves procedures like skin grafting.
Vitiligo can affect anyone at any age but is more commonly observed in individuals before the age of 30. People with certain autoimmune conditions like thyroid disorder, Addison’s disease or Type 1 diabetes may have a higher risk of developing vitiligo.
Vitiligo is progressive and unpredictable. Non-segmental vitiligo tends to develop slowly with new patches appearing sporadically over a person’s lifetime. Segmental vitiligo can cause rapid depigmentation initially but usually stabilizes after the first year.
Early prevention and treatment, particularly with medicine, can limit the spread and facilitate healing in the affected areas.
