Five Things about vitiligo surgical treatment

With the advancing of medical technology nowadays, more and more treatment methods for vitiligo are available for people to choose from, among those common treatment methods are comprehensive treatment, medication, phototherapy, and the most used treatment at present—surgical treatment, which includes epidermal cell transplantation and so on, the vitiligo becomes less difficult to treat after all.

In the clinic, a patient once asked if his situation can do surgery. Because the surgical treatment effect is fast, time and effort saving, many patients want to try it. But perhaps your condition is not suitable for surgical treatment, which needs to meet the following 5 points.

I. The smaller the lesion area, the faster the treatment effect

As each person's physique is different, melanin viability will be different. If you want to undergo surgical treatment, we strongly advise you to start with a small area, where you can see whether it is suitable for your skin or not, then you can decide if you want to try a larger area. ava

II. The condition must be in the stable stage

Surgical treatment is only suitable for patients in the stable stage. There are too many uncertainties in the progressive vitiligo, and it is impossible to predict whether there will be an isomorphic response or some other untoward reactions that will aggravate the development of the White patches and affect the effect of surgical treatment.

III. The requirement for surgical transplantation in a sterile environment

Any surgery needed to be carried out in a sterile environment, vitiligo is no exception to this condition, which would help exclude the influence of all external infection factors, and get the more accurate judgment of if the vitiligo surgery is successful or not.

IV. Post-surgical care

Successful surgical treatment does not necessarily mean that the vitiligo is cured, the next focus is nursing. Usually, after the surgery, patients should not only follow the doctor's instructions with medication but also need to do daily health care in terms of dietary regimen and skin care.

In general, after melanocyte implantation, vitiligo patients also need to adhere to a period of oral medicine, external ointment or phototherapy, and other methods to assist the treatment, to improve the recovery effect.

V. Keep a good mood

Regardless of whether the vitiligo surgical treatment is successful or not, do not overly affect your mood, and do not be upset, anxious, depressed, and so on, these emotions are not only detrimental to the recovery of the disease, but also to a certain extent aggravate the development of the condition.
