About Vitiligo

Vitiligo treatment aims to restore skin colour by addressing pigment loss. Common signs prompting this treatment include noticeable, irregular white patches on the skin. Patients who notice these changes often seek treatment to improve their skin's appearance. Typically, dermatologists or specialised skin surgeons perform these procedures. The treatment is crucial not only for cosmetic reasons but also for enhancing psychological well-being, as visible improvements can significantly boost self-esteem.

Types of Vitiligo Treatment

We at Pristyn Care perform 4 types of treatment as follows

Phototherapy :

This treatment exposes the skin to a specific type of UVB light, encouraging the return of natural skin colour. Patients usually receive this therapy two to three times a week, and while it may take months to see results, the benefits include effective management of both widespread and localised vitiligo.

Skin Grafting :

This procedure transfers healthy skin cells to vitiligo-affected areas. Best suited for small, stable patches, it restores pigmentation and evens out skin tone. The costs vary based on graft size and location, but the outcomes justify the investment for many.

Blister Grafting:

In this less common approach, doctors create blisters on donor skin using suction and then transfer them to the vitiligo patches. It’s effective for treating small, localised areas.

Micropigmentation :

Tattooing matches pigment to your skin tone and blends the white patches for a more even skin tone. Dermatologists advise this for visible areas like lips and hands, though results may fade over long periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I stop vitiligo from spreading?

To reduce the spread of vitiligo, manage stress effectively, protect your skin from sunburn with high-SPF sunscreen, and maintain a healthy diet. Consulting with a dermatologist is crucial. They might suggest treatments like topical corticosteroids or phototherapy based on your condition’s severity and your skin type.

What should I avoid eating if I have vitiligo?

Avoid consuming blueberries, oranges, and other citrus fruits as they contain hydroquinone, a depigmenting agent that might worsen vitiligo. Also, reduce intake of alcohol and foods high in phenols like coffee and spices. Tailor your diet according to any food sensitivities identified by your doctor.

Which fruit is good for vitiligo?

Papayas are beneficial for vitiligo patients. They promote skin health and re-pigmentation as they are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Incorporating papayas in your diet can support your body’s ability to manage vitiligo, alongside recommended medical treatments.

Can vitiligo go away on its own?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition without a known cure. In some cases, skin pigment can return on its own. However, these instances are rare and unpredictable. Treatment options like phototherapy and topical medications can improve appearance but do not guarantee a permanent cure.

How much does vitiligo treatment cost?

The cost of vitiligo treatment in India varies: Narrowband UVB phototherapy ranges from Rs. 2500 to Rs. 5,000 per session. Surgical treatments such as skin grafting may cost between Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 1,50,000, depending on the procedure’s complexity and the area covered. Costs for blister grafting and micropigmentation also vary widely based on similar factors.

Is vitiligo genetic?

Vitiligo has a genetic component, meaning it can run in families. However, having a family member with vitiligo does not guarantee you will develop it. Environmental factors and immune system health also play significant roles in its manifestation.

Which treatment is best for vitiligo?

Phototherapy is considered one of the most effective treatments for vitiligo, particularly when combined with other treatments like topical steroids or calcineurin inhibitors. This approach requires regular sessions over several months to achieve visible re-pigmentation.

Can laser remove vitiligo?

Laser treatments, specifically the Excimer laser, can promote re-pigmentation in vitiligo-affected areas. This treatment is most effective in cases of localised vitiligo and requires multiple sessions to achieve desirable results. Discuss with your dermatologist to determine if it’s suitable for your condition.

Can you live a normal life with vitiligo?

Yes, you can live a normal life with vitiligo. Many individuals with vitiligo lead healthy, active lives. Managing the condition involves medical treatment and emotional support, as vitiligo can affect one’s self-esteem. Support groups and counselling can be beneficial.

Is vitiligo treatment painful?

Most vitiligo treatments, such as topical applications and phototherapy, are not painful. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or side effects like redness or itching. Discuss pain management options with your dermatologist if you are undergoing treatments that might cause discomfort.

Eligibility For Vitiligo Treatment

Determining eligibility for vitiligo treatment is straightforward. Here are the key criteria:

  • Extent of Vitiligo: Patients with widespread or rapidly progressing vitiligo are prime candidates.
  • Stability of Condition: Ideal candidates have stable vitiligo, meaning no new patches have appeared, and existing patches have not grown for at least a year.
  • Age and Health: There is no strict age limit, but younger patients often respond better to treatment. Overall good health is important, as it affects recovery and treatment efficacy.
  • Previous Treatments: Patients who have not responded well to other treatments might consider more advanced options available.

How is Vitiligo Treatment Performed?

In Delhi, doctors perform vitiligo treatment using various effective methods. Here’s how each type works:

  1. Phototherapy (Light Therapy)
    • Doctors use narrowband UVB phototherapy to treat vitiligo. This method involves exposing the skin to ultraviolet light on a regular basis. It helps stimulate melanocyte function, potentially restoring colour to white patches.
  2. Surgical Treatments
    • Skin Grafting (Autologous Melanocyte Transplantation): Specialists transfer small patches of your healthy, pigmented skin to areas that have lost colour.
    • Blister Grafting: This procedure involves creating blisters on your pigmented skin using suction. Doctors then transfer the top of these blisters to depigmented skin areas.
    • Micropigmentation (Tattooing): This technique uses tattooing to deposit pigment into the skin, effectively camouflaging areas affected by vitiligo.

Post-Procedure Care After Vitiligo Treatment

After undergoing treatment for vitiligo, it’s crucial to care for your skin properly to maximise results:

  • Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to avoid further skin damage and protect new pigmentation.
  • Regular Follow-Ups: Visit your dermatologist regularly to track progress and make necessary adjustments in the treatment plan.
  • Continue Prescribed Creams: Stick with any creams or ointments given by your doctor as they support healing and repigmentation.
  • Healthy Eating Habits: Eat foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants to help keep your skin healthy from the inside out.
  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water each day supports overall skin health and healing processes.
  • Monitor Skin Changes: Keep an eye on your skin for any new changes or patches. Report these immediately to your doctor if they occur.
