Vitiligo procedure at Dermiiz Clinic

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly targets melanocytes, resulting in depigmented, macules and patches of skin.

At Dermiiz, we approach vitiligo with compassion and cutting-edge science. Our protocols focus on halting active disease progression through targeted immunomodulation, followed by stimulating follicular melanocyte reservoirs using narrow-band UVB and topical therapies.

Vitiligo presentations we treat

Classifying stability and pattern is critical to designing the optimal repigmentation protocol.

Non-Segmental Vitiligo

Symmetrical white patches appearing on hands, feet, wrists, and around body orifices.

Segmental Vitiligo

Unilateral depigmentation localized to one dermatomal segment, usually in younger individuals.

Focal & Mucosal Vitiligo

Isolated patches limited to small specific zones or involving lip and oral mucosa.

Stable Vitiligo (Surgical Candidates)

Inactive patches that have not spread for over one year, ideal for melanocyte grafting.

Benefits of vitiligo care

Systematic approach to arrest active spread and restore natural melanocyte pigmentation.

Targeted Repigmentation

Stimulates dormant hair follicle melanocytes to migrate outward and re-pigment white patches.

Stops active disease progression using safe, modern immunomodulators.

Targeted Narrow-Band UVB therapy with minimal exposure to uninvolved skin.

Comprehensive psychological support and guidance on camouflage options.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about our treatments? Here are answers to common questions to help guide you on your treatment journey.

Vitiligo can be effectively managed. Modern therapies frequently achieve complete or substantial repigmentation, particularly when treated early.
NB-UVB uses a specific 311nm wavelength that dampens local autoimmunity while stimulating melanocyte precursors in hair follicles to produce pigment.
Initial perifollicular repigmentation typically appears as tiny brown spots within 6 to 8 weeks of consistent therapy.
No. Vitiligo is not caused by food habits or sour foods; it is an immune-mediated condition. A balanced, antioxidant-rich diet supports general health.
Patients with strictly stable vitiligo that has shown no new patches or growth for at least 12 months are eligible for melanocyte transplantation.
