Understanding Vitiligo: A Personalized Approach to Treatment

Vitiligo is a condition that requires a personalized approach, as no two cases are alike. At Callisto Clinic, we work closely with each patient to develop a customized treatment plan based on the type and extent of vitiligo, as well as individual health factors.

Our Treatment Options Include:

• Topical Treatments: These include corticosteroid creams and immunomodulators to help slow the progression of depigmentation.
• Phototherapy (UVB Light Therapy): This is a non-invasive procedure that exposes affected skin to ultraviolet light, helping to restore pigment over time. Phototherapy has been shown to be particularly effective for patients with localized vitiligo.
• Melanocyte Transplantation: This advanced surgical procedure involves transplanting melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from unaffected areas of the body to areas affected by vitiligo, helping to restore natural skin color.
• Skin Grafting: In cases of stable vitiligo, skin grafting can be used to transfer patches of healthy, pigmented skin to depigmented areas.

We ensure that every treatment option is explained in detail to our patients, including the expected outcomes, potential risks, and any side effects. By offering a range of options, we help you make an informed decision about the best course of action for your skin.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Vitiligo Treatment

At Callisto Clinic, we use state-of-the-art equipment for vitiligo treatments. Our phototherapy devices are designed to deliver precise doses of UV light to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects. We also employ the latest surgical techniques for melanocyte transplantation and skin grafting, ensuring that our patients receive the highest standard of care available.

What to Expect from Treatment

We believe in setting realistic expectations for our patients. While some treatments can significantly improve the appearance of vitiligo, results may vary based on the individual's response to treatment, the location and extent of depigmentation, and the method used.

• Phototherapy: Typically requires multiple sessions (2-3 times per week) over several months to see noticeable improvement.
• Topical Treatments: Results may take several weeks to appear and work best in the early stages of vitiligo.
• Surgical Options: Melanocyte transplantation and skin grafting are generally recommended for patients with stable vitiligo (no new lesions for at least 6-12 months) and offer promising results for small, localized areas.

Our team is transparent about the likelihood of success with each treatment and will discuss all options, including alternative therapies and lifestyle adjustments that can support your treatment plan.

Most patients see improvement after several months of consistent treatment, though this varies based on the individual's skin and extent of vitiligo.
