Vitiligo Treatment at Kairon Clinic: Restore Pigment Gently with Excimer Laser

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation in patches of the skin, resulting in white or depigmented areas that can appear anywhere on the body. While vitiligo is not physically harmful, its visual impact can significantly affect self-esteem and quality of life.

At Kairon Clinic, we offer a clinically advanced and practiced solutions to manage this condition: Excimer Laser therapy. This targeted treatment helps stimulate melanin production and gradually restore skin color.

Understanding Vitiligo

VVitiligo occurs when melanocytes — the skin cells responsible for producing pigment — are destroyed or stop functioning. It is considered an autoimmune disorder, although the exact cause is still being studied. The condition is often progressive and can affect anyone, regardless of age or ethnicity. Typical signs of vitiligo include:

  • White or light-colored patches on the skin
  • Symmetrical or segmental pattern of loss
  • Common areas: face, hands, feet, elbows, and genitals
  • Sometimes associated with premature graying of hair or loss of pigment inside the mouth or eyes

Although there is no cure for vitiligo, treatments like Excimer Laser can offer meaningful repigmentation results and improved confidence.

How the Excimer Laser Helps

The Excimer Laser delivers targeted narrowband UVB light at 308 nm — a wavelength proven effective in activating dormant melanocytes. Unlike full-body phototherapy, Excimer Laser treats only the affected areas, making it effective and more precise.

Key Benefits of Excimer Laser for Vitiligo:

  • Stimulates Pigment Cells: Encourages the return of melanin in depigmented patches
  • Targeted Application: Avoids exposing unaffected skin to UV light
  • Minimal Side Effects: No systemic medications, no downtime
  • Suitable for Children and Adults: Well-tolerated across all age groups
  • Non-Invasive: No injections, incisions, or abrasions
