Vitiligo is a skin condition that affects millions worldwide, characterized by the loss of skin pigmentation due to the destruction of melanocytes—the cells responsible for producing melanin that is responsible for the skin colour. While traditional treatments like topical creams and light therapy have their limitations, melanocyte transplant surgery has emerged as a groundbreaking solution.

Understanding Vitiligo and Its Impact

Vitiligo, a condition that profoundly transforms the skin’s pigmentation, extends its impact far beyond the physical realm, leaving an extreme imprint on an individual’s emotional and social fabric. 

The enigmatic and unpredictable progression of this condition often gives rise to feelings of exasperation and heightened self-awareness, challenging one’s sense of identity and confidence in interpersonal interactions.

Common Challenges in Treating Vitiligo:

👉🏻Inconsistent results with creams or UV light therapy

👉🏻Limited efficacy in stable vitiligo cases

👉🏻Prolonged treatment timelines

👉🏻This is where melanocyte transplant surgery becomes a game-changer.

What Is Melanocyte Transplant Surgery?

Melanocyte transplant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves harvesting melanocytes from healthy skin and transplanting them to the affected areas. This innovative approach ensures targeted and effective repigmentation.

Benefits of Melanocyte Transplant Surgery

Permanent Solution for Stable Vitiligo

For patients with stable vitiligo (no new or change in size of patches for 1-2 years), this surgery offers a long-term solution.

Natural-Looking Results

The transplanted melanocytes help restore natural pigmentation, blending seamlessly with the surrounding skin.

Minimally Invasive Procedure

The surgery is quick, with minimal discomfort and downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities within days.

Boosts Self-Confidence

Regaining even skin tone can significantly improve mental well-being and self-esteem.

The Procedure at a Glance

1. Evaluation and Planning
   Our experienced plastic surgeons carefully assess the patient’s vitiligo pattern, status and stability of the condition’s stage.
2. Harvesting Melanocytes
   A small section of healthy, pigmented skin is chosen to extract melanocytes and is harvested.
3. Transplantation
   The harvested skin is processed and the melanocytes are extracted through various processes and then implanted  onto the depigmented patches which would have been prepared by then.
4. Post-Procedure Care
   Follow-up care ensures optimal results, with visible improvements within weeks.
