Advanced Surgical Treatment for Vitiligo
We provide targeted surgical solutions for stable vitiligo patches. Using FUE micro-grafting, our certified dermatologists work to restore natural pigment to affected skin areas with minimal downtime.
This before and after result on the neck and jawline was achieved through vitiligo surgery. We utilized tissue grafts derived from FUE hair follicles to successfully reintroduce pigment into the white patches, showcasing a key area of our surgical expertise.

About Vitiligo Surgical Treatments
Surgery is not the first step for everyone. We strictly treat stable vitiligo patches, meaning your condition should not have spread or changed significantly in the last year. This is the crucial medical benchmark we use before planning any FUE grafting procedure to ensure the treatment actually takes and provides the intended repigmentation.
Our Approach to Vitiligo Repigmentation
We utilize Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) grafting to manage stable vitiligo. This method involves extracting pigment-rich hair follicles from a donor area on your scalp using precise 0.8mm or 0.9mm micro-punches. These grafts are then implanted into the vitiligo patch, which has been prepared via dermabrasion or laser ablation to create a receptive bed for the new pigment cells.
Setting Realistic Expectations
It is important to understand that surgery is not a cure for vitiligo itself. It is a cosmetic procedure to restore pigment to specific, stable areas. We are upfront about the process: it is intensive, requiring 2-3 hours depending on the patch density. Because we focus on evidence-based results, we only recommend this if your clinical assessment confirms stability, ensuring you do not undergo invasive procedures for patches that may still be active.
What to Expect During Recovery
Following the procedure, we apply a specialized retention dressing to secure the grafts. You will need to keep this in place for the first 3-5 days. We provide a complete medication kit, including antibiotics and pain relief, and schedule a follow-up visit to monitor graft uptake. We prioritize safety throughout, performing all procedures in our clinics with certified dermatological expertise.
