Treatments for vitiligo can be divided into 3 types
Medical: Using
topical and oral medications. It can be used in both stable and progressive vitiligo.
Response obtained by medical therapy is slow. However, it is the only option for
stabilizing the fast-spreading vitiligo.
Light based: PUVA and NB-UVB phototherapy for localised or extensive lesions
Surgical: It is a good option for patients with localised vitiligo lesions which are cosmetically disfiguring and resistant to medical treatment. It can be done only in stable vitiligo cases (not increasing or spreading for 6 months).
Complete skin transfer: By suction blister grafting/ punch grafting.
Cell transplantation: By cultured melanocyte suspension transplant, or non- cultured melanocyte suspension transplant, or LA-PEEST (laser assisted PRP enriched epidermal suspension transplant).
Autologous melanocyte transplantation will give you complete 100% re- pigmentation of the skin in 75-85% of patients.
Stable vitiligo patches, not increasing or spreading for past 6 months are can be treated with surgery. It can be successfully performed on patients with localised or even involvement of a large body area. Delicate parts like upper eyelids, underarms, lips and groins can also be treated.
No, the procedure is done under local anaesthesia.
The duration of the surgery depends on the size of area being treated. It usually takes 2-3 hours
The dressing is done post-surgery at both the donor and recipient site. Donor site dressing is continued for about 10 days for total recovery of the donor area. At recipient site dressing is made open in 3-4 days. If recipient site is near joints, it is immobilized for 2-3 days for proper merging of the graft.
The earliest pigmentation starts within 2 weeks of the surgery. The significant re- pigmentation develops in 3-4 months.
Autologous melanocyte transplantation is very safe and effective treatment for stable vitiligo. It has no significant side effects, provided it is done by fully trained and expert Dermatologist taking strict aseptic precautions.
