What Is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a skin condition where the body loses pigment in certain areas, causing white patches on the skin. It happens when melanocytes (the pigment-producing cells) are damaged by the immune system. It can affect the skin, hair, and even areas like the lips and eyes.

Who Gets Vitiligo?

  • It can start at any age, often before 20
  • More common if there is a family history of vitiligo or autoimmune diseases (like thyroid issues or type 1 diabetes)
  • Can be triggered by stress, sunburn, injury, or irritation

What Are The Symptoms?

  • White or pale patches, often with clear borders
  • Common on the face, hands, elbows, knees, and genitals
  • Hair in the affected areas may turn white early
  • Some people feel mild itching or burning
  • The condition may stay the same or slowly spread

How We Treat Vitiligo At Modern Aestheticss?

Our treatment combines medical experience with advanced technology to restore pigment, reduce spread, and support your skin’s health.

  • Clinical examination and photography
  • Wood’s lamp to detect early or hidden patches
  • Autoimmune screening if needed

Every treatment starts with a full doctor consultation. Since each case of vitiligo is different, only a dermatologist can decide what treatment is best and safest for you.

  • Corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation
  • Calcineurin inhibitors like tacrolimus (especially for the face or sensitive areas)
  • JAK inhibitors (such as ruxolitinib cream) to help reactivate pigment production
  • Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB): Gold standard for many patients
  • PUVA Therapy: A combination of UVA and a special medication
  • Excimer Laser (308 nm): Targets small stubborn patches safely and precisely
  • Melanocyte cell transplantation
  • Mini-grafting or blister grafting for small, stable areas
    • These are done only in selected cases and by trained dermatologic surgeons
  • Micropigmentation (medical tattooing) for small areas
  • Depigmentation therapy for widespread vitiligo in some patients
  • Long-term creams or light therapy (1–3 times per week)
  • Daily sunscreen to protect pale skin and reduce contrast
  • Emotional support and lifestyle advice to reduce flare-ups

Why You Need A Doctor's Consultation

  • Each vitiligo case is different — from the type to how fast it spreads
  • Only a dermatologist can guide you to the safest and most effective option
  • Some treatments are not suitable for everyone and need close monitoring
  • Proper diagnosis ensures we treat the real cause, not just the symptoms

At Modern Aestheticss Dermatology and Laser Clinic, your treatment is always supervised by a qualified doctor to ensure the best care and safest outcomes.
