How Is Vitiligo Treated?

Vitiligo is treated by restoring skin color through repigmentation or, in rare cases, achieving a uniform skin tone. Treatment options include topical medications, narrowband UVB phototherapy, laser therapy, and surgical procedures like skin grafting for stable cases.

At the Redefine Hair Transplant and Plastic Surgery Center, under the brilliant hands of Dr. Harikiran Chekuri himself, advanced and personalized vitiligo treatment protocols will be followed to ensure safety, effectiveness, and natural-appearing results.

Vitiligo treatment is often a combination approach, customized for each patient. Commonly used options include:

• Topical medications to reduce inflammation and stimulate repigmentation
• Phototherapy (light therapy) to activate pigment cells
• Medical skin camouflage to improve appearance
• Advanced procedures in stable cases to restore skin color

According to experts, vitiligo treatment requires patience, as results develop gradually over weeks or months. Early treatment improves response and helps prevent the spread of depigmentation. You can further read more about vitiligo by visiting Is Vitiligo Genetic?.

One of the most common questions is how quickly vitiligo treatment works. The timeline varies based on skin type, affected area, and treatment consistency. Some patients notice early signs of repigmentation within a few weeks, while others may require several months.

Vitiligo is a long-term condition, but with proper guidance and follow-up, it can be effectively managed. Realistic expectations and regular monitoring play a key role in achieving the best outcomes
