Treatment · Advanced Vitiligo Care
Science-Led Solutions for Every Shade of You
Vitiligo is a complex pigmentary condition that requires an individualised, stage-based approach. Based on a detailed clinical evaluation and the stability of the disease, the dermatologist selects the most appropriate combination of medical, procedural or surgical options. Our comprehensive vitiligo programme is designed to restore pigmentation while addressing overall skin health and emotional well-being.

Overview
Diagnosis-driven medical therapy
A personalised treatment plan based on clinical evaluation, disease activity and extent of involvement. Medical therapy works by modulating immune activity, reducing inflammation and stimulating melanocyte function to help halt progression and initiate repigmentation.
Dermatological treatments are typically planned over multiple sessions to achieve safe and effective outcomes.

How it works
How Advanced Vitiligo Care works
01
Evaluate stability
Disease activity, patch distribution, duration and previous response are assessed.
02
Settle activity
Medical therapy and phototherapy are directed at halting further spread.
03
Repigment
Once stable, procedural or surgical options introduce or stimulate melanocytes.
04
Protect and support
Sun protection, camouflage and counselling continue alongside treatment.
05
Review
Progress is measured over months, with the plan adjusted to response.
What's included
Advanced vitiligo treatments at Own Skin
01Phototherapy
Targeted or whole-body light therapy using specific wavelengths of ultraviolet light to stimulate dormant melanocytes and enhance pigment production, while helping regulate the immune responses contributing to vitiligo.
- Treatment focus
- Stimulates melanocyte activation and pigment production while helping regulate immune-mediated skin changes.
- Ideal for
- Early or active vitiligo, widespread involvement, and as a core therapy combined with medical treatment.
02Controlled Epidermal Ablation
A precise technique that removes the superficial epidermal layer in stable vitiligo patches, encouraging melanocyte migration from surrounding normal skin and hair follicles for uniform repigmentation.
- Treatment focus
- Facilitates melanocyte migration and uniform pigment spread in stable depigmented patches.
- Ideal for
- Stable patches that have not responded adequately to medical therapy alone.
03Microneedling with Infusion
Micro-channels are created in the skin to enhance penetration of topical agents, stimulating growth factors and improving melanocyte migration.
- Treatment focus
- Enhances delivery of therapeutic agents while stimulating growth factors and melanocyte activity.
- Ideal for
- Stable or slowly progressive vitiligo, especially combined with topical or light-based treatments.
04Intralesional Therapy
Direct delivery of medication into vitiligo patches to locally suppress immune-mediated melanocyte destruction and promote pigment recovery in resistant or focal lesions.
- Treatment focus
- Targets local immune activity to protect melanocytes and support pigment recovery.
- Ideal for
- Small, localised or resistant patches requiring focused intervention.
05Mini-Punch Grafting Surgery
Small skin grafts containing healthy melanocytes are transplanted into depigmented areas, where they gradually spread and repigment the surrounding skin.
- Treatment focus
- Introduces healthy melanocytes into depigmented areas to initiate controlled repigmentation.
- Ideal for
- Stable vitiligo with limited, well-defined patches suitable for surgical correction.
- 06
Split-Thickness Grafting Surgery
A thin layer of pigmented skin is harvested and placed over prepared vitiligo patches, allowing uniform melanocyte transfer over larger areas.
- Treatment focus
- Broader melanocyte transfer for uniform pigment restoration in larger stable patches.
- Ideal for
- Stable vitiligo involving relatively larger areas.
- 07
Suction Blister Grafting Surgery
Blister roofs rich in melanocytes are transferred to vitiligo patches for smooth, cosmetically pleasing repigmentation.
- Treatment focus
- Transfers melanocyte-rich epidermal layers for natural-looking, refined repigmentation.
- Ideal for
- Stable vitiligo in cosmetically sensitive areas such as the face.
- 08
Non-Cultured Melanocyte Transfer Surgery
Melanocytes are extracted from a small donor skin sample, processed and applied directly to depigmented areas in a single procedure, allowing larger areas to be treated efficiently.
- Treatment focus
- Efficient melanocyte transfer for repigmentation of larger stable areas in a single session.
- Ideal for
- Stable vitiligo over larger surface areas where conventional grafting may be limited.
- 09
Medical Camouflage
Specialised skin-matched pigments conceal depigmented areas, providing immediate aesthetic improvement and confidence during treatment.
- Treatment focus
- Immediate cosmetic blending while medical or procedural treatments continue.
- Ideal for
- Patients seeking temporary aesthetic improvement or support during long-term treatment.
- 10
Psychological and Lifestyle Support
Counselling, stress management strategies and lifestyle guidance form an essential part of holistic care to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.
