Vitiligo Treatment at Lakeshore Medical Center
Manage and Improve the Appearance of Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. While it does not cause physical discomfort, it can affect self-esteem and confidence. At Lakeshore Medical Center, our dermatology specialists offer advanced treatments to help manage Vitiligo and improve the appearance of the skin.
Understanding Vitiligo
Vitiligo occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment, are destroyed. The condition can affect any area of the body and varies in severity. While there is no cure for Vitiligo, treatments are available to help restore color to the affected areas and reduce the appearance of white patches.
Effective Vitiligo Treatment Options
Our specialists provide personalized care and offer a range of treatments to manage Vitiligo, including:
- Topical Medications: Prescription creams and ointments that can help repigment the skin.
- Phototherapy (Light Therapy): Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light under medical supervision can stimulate pigment production in affected areas.
- Excimer Laser Therapy: A targeted form of light therapy designed to treat smaller patches of depigmentation.
- Micropigmentation (Medical Tattooing): For some patients, medical tattooing can help blend the affected areas with the surrounding skin.
Holistic Care and Support
Managing Vitiligo goes beyond treatments. Our dermatologists work closely with you to develop a comprehensive plan that includes skin care recommendations and strategies to protect your skin from sun exposure, as UV rays can worsen the condition.
