Personalized Vitiligo Treatments at Keha Skin Clinic

At Keha Skin Clinic, we offer a wide range of treatment options tailored to each patient’s specific needs, skin type, and severity of the condition. Our goal is to slow the progression of vitiligo, promote repigmentation, and enhance skin aesthetics.

1. Topical Treatments

Topical medications are often the first line of treatment for vitiligo, especially in cases with limited skin involvement.

• Corticosteroid Creams: Help reduce inflammation and stimulate pigment production in early-stage vitiligo.

• Calcineurin Inhibitors (Tacrolimus & Pimecrolimus): Effective in sensitive areas like the face and neck, these medications modulate immune response and aid in repigmentation.

2. Light-Based Therapies

Phototherapy is a highly effective treatment that uses controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light to stimulate melanocyte activity.

• Narrowband Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) Therapy: Considered the gold standard for treating vitiligo, this therapy targets affected areas without harming surrounding skin.

• Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet A (PUVA) Therapy: A combination of psoralen (a light-sensitizing medication) and UVA light, used for widespread vitiligo.

• Excimer Laser Therapy: Ideal for localized patches, this targeted UVB treatment enhances melanin production with minimal side effects.

3. Surgical Treatment Options

For patients with stable vitiligo that has not responded to other treatments, surgical interventions can offer significant improvement.

• Skin Grafting: Healthy pigmented skin is transplanted onto depigmented areas.

• Melanocyte Transplantation: Cultured melanocytes are transferred to vitiligo patches to promote uniform skin coloration.

4. Cosmetic and Camouflage Solutions

For individuals seeking immediate results or additional skin tone correction, cosmetic treatments can be a valuable option.

• Medical Tattooing (Micropigmentation): Semi-permanent pigment is implanted into depigmented areas to blend with natural skin color.

• Microskin Application: A custom-matched liquid pigment that covers vitiligo patches, providing a natural appearance.

• Dermablend Makeup and Concealers: Specially formulated cosmetics that offer long-lasting coverage for vitiligo patches.

5. Systemic Medications

In cases where vitiligo is progressive or widespread, systemic medications may be prescribed to modulate the immune response.

• Oral Corticosteroids: Help control rapid vitiligo spread.

• Immunosuppressants: Such as methotrexate or cyclosporine, used selectively for severe cases.

Holistic and Lifestyle Approaches

At Keha Skin Clinic, we believe that a comprehensive treatment plan extends beyond medical interventions. We provide guidance on:

• Nutritional Support: A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can support skin health and immune function.

• Sun Protection: Proper sun care prevents further depigmentation and protects sensitive skin.

• Psychological Support: Vitiligo can impact self-esteem, and we offer counseling resources to support emotional well-being.
