The purpose of Vitiligo laser treatment is to stop the spread of de-pigmentation in skin. In some cases this treatment helps the skin to gain back its pigmentation. It is not certain or guaranteed that the treatment will help gain back skin's pigmentation.

When we see a person with vitiligo we must determine the evolutionary phase. We divide it in 5 phases (rapidly worsening, slowly worsening, stable for less than 1 year, stable for more than 1 year, and improving spontaneously).

If it is rapidly worsening there is a good indication to use oral medications. If it is slowly worsening it is usually unnecessary except if the hands and/or the feet are involved. In these areas it is very important to stop the progression as soon as possible.

It is very important to remember that the worsening phase lasts about 1 year (from 6 months to 1 year and a half). When you use a medication to stop the appearance of new spots it doesn't interrupt the phase. If you stop the medication before the phase fades away new spots can appear.

The death of melanocytes is progressive. Treating the vitiligo as soon as possible you turn the repigmentation faster because you will still have melanocytes in epidermis and in the hairs.

Causes of vitiligo :

An autoimmune disorder - the patient's immune system becomes overactive and destroys the melanocytes2

Genetic oxidative stress imbalance

A stressful event

Harm to the skin due to a critical sunburn or cut

Exposure to some chemicals

A neural cause

Heredity - family link

A viral cause.

The disease is idiopathic.

(This means it's unique to the individual and the cause follows no known pattern. Or, as House M.D. translates it: "It means we're idiots because we don't know what's causing it.")

Diagnosis of retinal detachment should be done by an ophthalmologist. A person who has flashes, floaters, or has a curtain-like blockage of their visual field should see an ophthalmologist immediately

It is a steroid and steroids can certainly be used in vitiligo. They however offer temporary relief and cannot be used for prolonged periods due to their side effects. Betamethasone moreover is not the best steroid for vitiligo. You need something more potent like clobestol.

Some safe treatments are also available for vitiligo like PUVA, antiviligo.com, and recouleur.

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease and it affects our immune system. It starts producing antibodies which turn against our own body and starts destructing the melanocytes.

Yes! Sometimes they become painful if its in an area u must sit on or they can b located on ur bottom bikini area. Most likely frm shaving but not always. It can b from totally differnt circumstances.

Nobody has perfect, airbrushed skin. Most fair coloured women have an ivory, red or yellow tone to their skin. Most dark coloured women have a yellow/golden, red, blue, olive or ashen/grey tone to their skin.

To help reduce your skin undertones, try using a concealer. Concealer does not just come in your natural shade. For best coverage use a concealer that is opposite your skin undertone colour on the colour wheel. For example, for dark circles under the eyes, use lilac. For blue veins, use peach.

To help reduce the red blotchy look, use a green concealer. You don't need to spend a lot of money on one. You can purchase one from somewhere like tescos. superdrug, etc. Use a small brush to apply a small amount upon the red patches. Once you've applied your concealer, apply a foundation that matches your skin exactly. To test a foundation dab a small amount on to your jaw line. If you test it on your hand then you will not get the right colour as your hands and face are two completely different colours as skin on your hand is a lot thicker.

DAB the foundation on using a spnge (do not slide as this will take off the concealer).

This should leave you with a good, flawless look.

Bergamot oil is found helpful in treating vitiligo. It contains psoralens which acts as a photosensitizer and makes our skin sensitive to the tanning effect of sunlight which helps in repigmentation.

What Causes Vitiligo.

What causes vitiligo has been known to medical research for about 75 years, and doctors of that time knew how to cure vitiligo without skin treatments of any kind by simple and effective means available to them.

That real medical research on vitiligo was corroborated and expanded upon by four subsequent generations of MD's, and the cause and cure of vitiligo has consequently become crystal clear and medically obvious. That information, which allows a person to cure himself, is not known to the lay public, and is seemingly not known to current medical practitioners who have minimal knowledge of their own profession.

The real and curative medical research on vitiligo done over the last 100 years has been extracted and distilled by an M.D. into a revealing and eye-opening book "Vitiligo: Your Doctor Will Never Cure You, You've GOT to do it yourself" which is exclusively available through.

No PUVA, no oils, no excimer lasers, no immune suppressors, no skin grafts, and no mysterious herbal remedies. What Causes Vitiligo is known, and can be cured through simple, straightforward means available to anyone who wants to cure himself without skin treatments of any kind.
