In addition to standard therapies, the practice offers narrow band UVB, Excimer Light and surgical therapies for vitiligo.

 

Surgical therapies:

 

Suction blister grafting: Blisters are raised on the thigh. The blister roof is removed and grafted onto vitiligo areas.

 

Punch grafting; small pieces of skin are removed from the thigh and grafted onto vitiligo areas

 

Needling: a needle is inserted along the edge of vitligo areas to encourage the spread of pigmentation within the white spots.

​

To determine which therapy is right for you, please book a consultation and the options will be discussed with you.
