VITILIGO
The treatment of vitiligo through pigmentation therapy delivers confidence restoration together with skin colour normalisation. Vitiligo is an autoimmune chronic skin disorder that results in skin colour loss, creating white depigmented areas throughout different body regions. The immune system starts an incorrect attack on melanocytes, leading to their destruction. This condition has an adverse effect on the mental health and social interactions as well as the self-image of a person even though it is non-infectious and non-fatal.
At Rasa Derm, patients receive individualised treatment plans together with professional care from a state-of-the-art medical facility for effective vitiligo management and confidence recovery.
Although the precise cause remains unknown, it is anticipated that a variety of factors may be involved:
- Autoimmune Response: The body attacks melanocytes through immune system mechanisms.
- Genetic Predisposition: Family medical history might increase the chances of developing this condition.
- Oxidative Stress or Trauma: Vitiligo may appear or worsen due to physical or emotional stress or injury or sunburn exposure to the skin.
- Neurogenic Factors: Nerve endings generate toxic substances that harm melanocytes.
- Associated Conditions: Vitiligo tends to coexist with thyroid disease or alopecia areata as other autoimmune disorders.
Treatment and prognosis are influenced by an understanding of the type:
- Non-Segmental Vitiligo (NSV): The most common Non-Segmental Vitiligo (NSV) form presents with symmetrical body regions, including hands, feet, and facial areas.
- Segmental Vitiligo (SV): The condition tends to begin sooner and spreads rapidly on one specific side of the body.
- Mucosal Vitiligo: This condition affects areas such as the lips and genitals along with the interior of the mouth.
- Universal Vitiligo: Affects over 80% of the body’s surface.
- Localized or Focal Vitiligo: A condition that is restricted to a single or a few spots.
- Face (encompassing the eyes and mouth).
- Fingers and hands.
- Feet and arms.
- The neck and thorax.
- Scalp (may result in white or grey hair).
- Mucosal or genital regions.
You should seek medical assistance when:
- You have observed the development of new white patches on your epidermis.

The treatment of vitiligo does not have a permanent solution, but multiple available solutions exist to restore pigment while controlling the condition and improving appearance.
1. Phototherapy (NB-UVB)
- The application of narrowband UVB light therapy to the skin activates melanocytes, which leads to new pigment formation.
- The treatment works effectively for treating large areas of vitiligo, especially on the trunk and extremities.
- The best results are achieved through regular supervised treatment sessions.
- The treatment helps control the autoimmune reaction and decrease inflammation levels.
- The treatment is applied primarily to thin skin regions as well as the neck and facial areas.
- Under the guidance of a dermatologist, this product is considered safe for extended use.
- The system produces focused 308 nm UVB light that targets particular locations.
- The face and hands and feet benefit most from this treatment when vitiligo is localised or resistant to other methods.
- This treatment produces minimal side effects, and patients can use it in combination with topical medications.
4. Depigmentation Therapy
- The treatment method is suitable for patients with extensive vitiligo when repigmentation is not feasible.
- The medication monobenzone progressively removes pigmentation from unaffected areas to achieve uniform skin colour.
- The entire process requires constant monitoring and can be completely reversed in the initial treatment stages.
5. Methods Of Camouflage
- White patches become hidden through the use of medical-grade cosmetics combined with colour-correcting concealers and skin dyes.
- The team provides personalised guidance regarding application methods and product recommendations.
- The product functions for regular use and specific events, which boost one’s self-assurance.
6. Emotional Support And Counseling
- People who suffer from vitiligo face significant emotional challenges.
- The team delivers recommendations for body image management to patients who specifically need help dealing with their body image concerns during adolescence and young adulthood.
- Ongoing guidance enables patients to control their condition effectively.
