Vitiligo is a skin condition causing patches of lost pigmentation, resulting in white or lighter areas on the skin. This occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing pigment, stop functioning or are destroyed. Although vitiligo can appear anywhere on the body, it is most commonly seen on the face, hands, and around body openings. Vitiligo can affect anyone, regardless of skin tone or age, and may be linked to genetic or autoimmune factors. While vitiligo is not harmful, it can have a significant emotional and psychological impact on individuals.

How it Works
How it Works
1. Advanced Re-pigmentation Techniques
At Dermestetics, we employ state-of-the-art treatments to stimulate melanocyte activity or restore pigmentation. By targeting affected areas, narrowband UVB phototherapy stimulates the growth of new melanocytes, leading to a more even skin tone.
2. Topical and Injectable Treatments
We offer medical-grade topical treatments and injectable options that work to modulate the immune system and enhance pigment production. These methods are often combined with other therapies to deliver faster, more consistent results.
3. Personalized Care for Optimal Results
Every patient’s vitiligo journey is unique. That’s why our team customizes treatment plans, incorporating a blend of therapies to target specific needs. By managing the root causes and focusing on long-term management, we help patients achieve and maintain visible improvements.
