Vitiligo Treatment
Restore Balance, Regain Confidence
What Is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition in which the body’s immune system destroys pigment-producing cells (melanocytes), leading to white patches of skin on various parts of the body. It can affect the face, hands, arms, legs, genitals, and even hair (causing premature greying).
Though not contagious or life-threatening, vitiligo can deeply impact one’s self-esteem and emotional wellbeing. At Dermosphere Clinic, we offer comprehensive, compassionate, and personalized vitiligo treatment plans that focus on stabilization, repigmentation, and camouflage.
Common Types of Vitiligo We Treat
• Segmental Vitiligo – affects one side or area of the body
• Non-segmental Vitiligo (most common) – symmetrical patches on both sides
• Focal Vitiligo – isolated small patches
• Universal Vitiligo – widespread loss of pigmentation
What Causes Vitiligo?
• Autoimmune response against melanocytes
• Genetic predisposition
• Triggered by stress, sunburn, skin injury, or hormonal imbalance
• Often associated with thyroid disorders or diabetes
Vitiligo Treatment Options at Dermosphere Clinic
1. Topical Medical Therapy
• Corticosteroid creams or calcineurin inhibitors (Tacrolimus)
• Best for early-stage or small patches
2. Narrowband UVB Phototherapy
• Controlled UVB light exposure stimulates melanin production
• Most effective for stable, generalized vitiligo
3. Excimer Laser
• Targeted laser for localized patches
• Especially useful on face, neck, and small areas
4. Microneedling + PRP or Growth Factors
• Stimulates melanocyte migration
• Boosts results when combined with light therapy
5. Depigmentation Therapy (in widespread vitiligo)
• For patients who have lost most of their pigment and wish for uniform skin tone
• Used cautiously and only in select severe cases
6. Surgical Options (for stable vitiligo only)
• Melanocyte transfer / skin grafting for long-standing, stable patches
• Requires specialized selection and evaluation
7. Camouflage & Cosmetic Solutions
• Skin-safe concealers and medical camouflage makeup

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is vitiligo curable?
There is no permanent cure, but many treatments can stop the spread and repigment the skin with long-term care.
2. Can vitiligo spread?
Yes. In some patients, vitiligo may spread over time — especially if triggered by stress, skin trauma, or immune changes.
3. Will light therapy work on everyone?
Light therapy works best on new or moderately active vitiligo and shows better results on face and upper body.
