Vitiligo Surgery

What is Vitiligo?

Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation, resulting in white patches on different areas of the body. It occurs when melanocytes—the cells responsible for skin color—are destroyed or stop functioning. While vitiligo is not harmful or contagious, it can significantly impact an individual’s self-esteem and confidence. It affects both men and women and can appear at any age.

How is it Treated?

While initial stages of vitiligo can be managed through medications and light therapy, stable vitiligo that doesn’t respond to conventional treatments may benefit from Vitiligo Surgery. At Skin Sattva, we offer advanced surgical options such as melanocyte transfer, blister grafting, and non-cultured epidermal suspension. These procedures help restore pigment in the affected areas by transplanting healthy melanocytes from normal skin.
