Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that causes areas of depigmentation, where the skin loses its natural color due to a lack of melanin. These patches can appear anywhere—on the face, hands, arms, feet, or even inside the mouth—and while vitiligo isn’t painful or contagious, it can be emotionally challenging and sometimes misunderstood.
At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, we offer advanced, compassionate care for patients with vitiligo. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been navigating this journey for a while, our team is here to provide personalized treatment options, emotional support, and expert guidance to help you feel more confident in your skin.
Vitiligo treatment is highly individualized. Options may include topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, light therapy (narrowband UVB), excimer laser treatments, micropigmentation, and cosmetic camouflage techniques. While there’s no universal cure, there are effective ways to slow progression, stimulate repigmentation, and help you regain a sense of control and confidence.
Vitiligo is believed to be an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the melanocytes—the cells responsible for producing pigment. It’s not contagious, and while the exact cause isn’t fully understood, genetics, stress, and other autoimmune conditions may play a role.
Medically, vitiligo is not dangerous or painful, and it doesn’t increase your risk for skin cancer. However, it can take a toll on your emotional well-being, especially when the condition is visible on areas like the face or hands. That’s why we treat the whole person—not just the pigment loss.
Treatment depends on the location, severity, and how fast the condition is progressing. Options may include topical medications, narrowband UVB therapy, excimer laser, oral treatments, or cosmetic pigmentation techniques. We’ll design a customized plan to suit your goals and comfort level.
There’s currently no cure for vitiligo, but it can be managed effectively. Many patients see improvement in skin tone with consistent treatment. The goal is to restore pigment where possible, reduce contrast, and help you feel more at home in your skin.
For some, vitiligo stays localized. For others, it may gradually spread. There’s no one-size-fits-all progression, but the good news is that early treatment may help slow or stabilize the spread—and potentially restore pigment in affected areas.
Yes! Areas affected by vitiligo lack melanin, which means they’re more sensitive to sunburn. Wearing sunscreen daily is essential, not just to protect your skin but also to reduce contrast between pigmented and depigmented areas. Don’t worry—we’ll help you build a skin-safe routine.
Your skin is beautifully unique—and we’re here to support it. Book your vitiligo consultation today at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, and let’s create a care plan that meets your needs and honors your story.
