Vitiligo Treatment



VITILIGO (LEUCODERMA) LASER SURGERY TREATMENT IN MUMBAI, INDIA

Vitiligo is a skin disease that can affect almost any part of the skin. Vitiligo
results in the loss of skin pigments in patches, and typically affects both
sides of the body. Vitiligo happens due to the loss of pigment cells called
melanocytes. It also occurs in mucous membranes and hence can affect the insides
of the mouth and eyes as well. Vitiligo occurs in all skin types but because the
patches are white, it is more noticeable in people with dark skin pigmentation.
And that is why a lot of people in the country are concerned about this
affliction. When it comes to Vitiligo treatment India sees a huge number of
patients.

Although vitiligo doesn’t cause any physical harm, it causes stress and a loss
of self-image and confidence in the patient. Therefore, vitiligo treatment is
something more and more people seek.


WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF VITILIGO(LEUCODERMA)

The exact cause of vitiligo is not known but it is believed to be an autoimmune
disease. That is, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as an enemy
and attacks it. There might be a certain genetic component as well, which might
get activated on exposure to certain environmental factors that result in said
autoimmune condition. Certain risk factors of vitiligo that have been cited, are
hyperthyroidism, pernicious anemia, alopecia areata, or crucially, a family
history of autoimmune conditions. Vitiligo is known to run in families.
Therefore, you might be afflicted with vitiligo if someone in your family has
the condition. With vitiligo laser surgery treatment India has seen many
patients with someone in their family suffering from the same condition.
Therefore doctors here will always ask about your family’s medical history.


ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS OF VITILIGO(LEUCODERMA)



The primary symptom of vitiligo is the loss of skin color in patches. The
discoloration can occur anywhere but the process generally begins in the places
that are exposed to the sun, such as hands and legs, scalp, mouth, nostrils,
eyes, etc. Premature whitening or the graying of scalp hair is also a sign to
look out for for the onset of vitiligo. The patches grow slowly and change
shape. Sometimes there is increased pigmentation around the patch edges as well.
Therefore it is necessary to seek vitiligo treatment.

Vitiligo normally begins around the age of twenty. There are specific names
given to vitiligo depending on their location and extent: covering many parts of
the body, symmetrically- generalized vitiligo; only one side/ part of the body –
segmental vitiligo; one area only or a few areas- focal vitiligo, etc. When it
comes to vitiligo treatment India does not have people who are totally aware of
what this disease entails.

Unfortunately, there are no known treatments for vitiligo. Sometimes the process
stops on its own. However, there are several treatments available to minimize
the damage or bring some sort of reversal. All treatments are not for everyone,
and the choice of treatment depends on factors such as the number and location
of the patches, how widespread they are or the presence of other diseases in the
patient. When it comes to vitiligo laser surgery treatment India has seen
patients opting for mostly invasive procedures.


AVAILABLE TREATMENTS FOR VITILIGO (LEUCODERMA)

Treatments include medical, surgical or self-medications using cosmetics. Most
treatments focus on restoring the color, or at minimum, evening out the tone. So
far the best result has been obtained by a combination of UV light and creams.
However, because of the risk of skin cancer, this is better avoided and used
only when other methods have failed. Therefore it is necessary that before you
opt for a treatment, you seek consultation from a top dermatologist in the
country.

Certain drugs may be effective. For example, Topical calcipotriene (a form of
vitamin D), tacrolimus or pimecrolimus ointments, etc. However, no drug can
entirely stop vitiligo. If the depigmentation is widespread, removal of the
remaining color is a good option. Surgical options include skin grafting,
blister grafting, or tattooing. Surgery is an option if drugs and laser therapy
don’t work. When it comes to vitiligo laser surgery treatment India will have
patients from all over the country coming to Mumbai, since it has some of the
best centers.

Vitiligo treatment in India can also be performed with the excimer laser, which
can make a great difference to the hypopigmented skin patches.


WHAT IS LEUCODERMA AND THE TREATMENT AVAILABLE FOR IT?







Leucoderma treatment is quite similar to vitiligo in which the skin loses its
natural color because of loss of pigmentation. This condition affects the skin
in patches. It is caused by of loss of melanocytes in the skin. Unlike vitiligo
in which the white patches are usually spaced apart, the white patches of skin
in leucoderma are closely bound to each other.

Another name for this is achromoderma which is characterised by the lack or
total loss of epidermal melanin and it should not be confused with
hypopigmentation. The white patches increase over time and it is very noticeable
in age groups of 10-30 years. Though it is a rare condition, it still needs
treatment and the common treatments include

 * Sun protection
 * Cosmetic camouflage such as makeup and skin tattoos
 * Medications that help depigment the skin
 * Light therapy such as narrowband phototherapy and PUVA therapy.
 * Treatment of the underlying cause
 * Surgery to remove the pigmented skin and use grafts to cover the affected
   area.

The primary goal of the treatment is to improve the appearance of the affected
areas. No single treatment is perfect for everybody. Different bodies respond
differently to the treatments therefore rely on your dermatologist to find the
best solution and treatment line for you.








HOW MUCH VITILIGO(LEUCODERMA)LASER SURGERY TREATMENT COST IN INDIA

Vitiligo can be treated in many ways. Vitiligo laser treatment cost in India
mainly varies by the type of treatment used. Topical treatments are priced
minimally whereas a phototherapy treatment might cost a few thousand. The price
of vitiligo laser treatment is less than the surgical option but more than the
use of topical. This cost of treatment also varies by the number of white
patches and the extent of the condition.

The experience of the surgeon matters the most for the right and successful
treatment. The Laser surgery treatment cost of vitiligo is also calculated based
on the per square inch of the area treated. When working out the cost of
vitiligo laser surgery treatment in Mumbai the patient’s condition becomes a
very important consideration factor.

Most insurance companies do not provide coverage for laser surgery vitiligo
treatment. Since the treatment is done in many sessions you can talk to your
doctor about payment plans to be a lump sum or session-wise. The main goal of
the treatment is to help the patient achieve a confident life and even skin
tone.
