Active vs Stable: The Most Important Decision

Vitiligo treatment changes based on activity. If the disease is active, we focus on controlling spread. If stable, we evaluate for advanced options like excimer and surgery (case-dependent).

Why Many Patients Don’t Improve

Long-term trial of random treatments without assessing stability and suitability leads to frustration. We follow a step-wise plan and clearly explain what is possible and what is not.

Vitiligo: Simple Explanation

Vitiligo causes white patches due to loss or reduced function of pigment-producing cells. It is not contagious and is treatable with a structured plan.

Step 1: Confirm Diagnosis & Map the Disease
  • Clinical evaluation and pattern assessment
  • Woods lamp examination for subtle lesions and margins
  • Dermatoscopy support when needed
  • Biopsy in selected difficult cases
Step 2: Decide Activity (Active vs Stable)

Stability assessment is essential before planning advanced procedures. We look for signs of spread, new lesions and response to prior therapy, then design a plan.

Key point: Surgery is considered only for suitable stable vitiligo.

Medical Treatment (When Disease is Active / Early)
  • Medical therapy as per clinical need (topical / systemic decisions are individualized)
  • Phototherapy decisions where appropriate
  • Triggers and skincare guidance

Exact prescriptions are decided in consultation after assessment.

Excimer Laser for Vitiligo (Targeted Light)

Excimer is useful for selected localized patches. It targets the patch area and may be combined with medical therapy for better response in suitable cases.

Best for: limited patches, cosmetically important areas, resistant small lesions (case selection matters).

Explore our Laser Treatments page for more details.

Vitiligo Surgery (Only for Suitable Stable Vitiligo)

Surgery is evaluated when vitiligo is stable and the patch is not responding adequately to medical/light therapies.

  • Stability confirmation and ethical selection
  • Procedure choice depends on site, size and pattern
  • Realistic outcome discussion and follow-up plan

Important: Not every case is a surgery case — we clearly tell you what is suitable.

Intralesional Therapy (Selected Cases)

Advanced intralesional options may be considered in selected cases as per clinical indication and safety. This is planned only after evaluation.

Why Choose Our Vitiligo Program
  • Step-wise plan (diagnosis → activity → treatment selection)
  • Excimer availability for selected cases
  • Surgical option for stable vitiligo
  • Clear communication and ethical case selection
