What is vitiligo treatment?

Vitiligo treatment first stops white patches from spreading and then encourages pigment to return using immune-modulating medicines, narrow-band UVB phototherapy and targeted excimer light.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune condition in which melanocytes are destroyed, causing depigmented white patches. Treatment depends on whether the disease is active (spreading) or stable, and on the pattern — segmental or non-segmental.

We first stabilise active disease with oral mini-pulse therapy or immunomodulators, then stimulate repigmentation with topical agents, NB-UVB phototherapy and targeted excimer light. Stable, resistant patches may be suitable for surgical grafting.

How the treatment works

  1. Activity assessment — Wood’s lamp examination and VIDA scoring for disease activity.
  2. Stabilisation — Oral and topical immunomodulators to halt progression.
  3. Phototherapy — NB-UVB or excimer sessions to trigger perifollicular repigmentation.
  4. Grafting if needed — Punch, suction blister or melanocyte transfer for stable resistant patches.
