Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes loss of skin color in patches. It occurs when the cells that produce melanin, the pigment, die or stop functioning. This can result in white patches on the skin that may spread over time. While there are various treatments available for vitiligo, some cases may require surgery to achieve the desired results.
Are you struggling with vitiligo and searching for a reputable clinic to undergo surgery treatment? Look no further than Shalini’s Skin Clinic! With years of experience, expertise in skin care, and a strong commitment to providing top-notch service, Shalini’s Skin Clinic is the go-to destination for individuals looking to address their vitiligo concerns.
There are several surgical options for treating vitiligo:
Skin Grafting: Involves taking healthy skin from one area of the body (often the thigh or buttocks) and transplanting it to the affected areas.
Punch Grafting: Small sections of skin with healthy pigment are removed and transplanted into the depigmented areas.
Micrografting/Miniature Punch Grafting: Similar to punch grafting but uses smaller grafts for finer depigmented areas.
Suction Blister Grafting: Creates blisters on pigmented skin, which are then transplanted onto depigmented areas.
The effectiveness of vitiligo surgery can vary depending on factors such as the type of surgery, the location and size of the patches, and individual response. Success rates range from 50% to 90%, with some patients achieving significant repigmentation.
Vitiligo surgery can provide long-term or permanent repigmentation in some cases. However, results may vary, and additional sessions or touch-ups may be needed to achieve desired outcomes.
Results from vitiligo surgery may start to become visible within a few months to a year, as the transplanted skin grafts or melanocytes begin to produce pigment in the depigmented areas.
Post-operative care typically involves keeping the treated area clean and protected, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and following specific instructions provided by your dermatologist or surgeon to promote healing and maximize results.
