Vitiligo
Vitiligo occurs when the skin loses melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. This happens when pigment-producing cells are damaged or destroyed, leading to gradually enlarging white patches on the skin. Vitiligo is not contagious, but it can have a significant emotional impact on those affected.
Treatment Options
Our goal is repigmentation of the skin and improving quality of life for patients with vitiligo. Treatment options include:
-
Topical therapies – Prescription creams to help restore pigment
-
Narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) phototherapy – Targeted light therapy to stimulate repigmentation
Our providers have years of experience treating both adults and children, creating personalized treatment plans to achieve the best possible outcomes.
