Affecting around 2% of the population, vitiligo is a skin condition in which the pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) are targeted by the immune system. When these cells cease to function, it results in loss of skin color in blotchy patches. For individuals seeking vitiligo treatment near me, Kessel Dermatology offers a range of effective therapies aimed at restoring pigment to the skin.
When you visit Kessel Dermatology for vitiligo treatment, here are a few therapies our skin experts might recommend:
If your vitiligo only affects a small amount of your skin or you naturally have light skin, you may not need treatment beyond sun protection. As our skin care experts will emphasize, when you have vitiligo, it’s absolutely crucial to wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher in order to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage. This is because vitiligo interferes with the body’s ability to produce melanin, the pigment which protects your skin from ultraviolet light.
At Kessel Dermatology, we offer a variety of treatments which can help reduce the course of vitiligo and re-pigment the skin. If you are ready to discuss your treatment options, call our office at 609-890-2600 to request an in-person or telemedicine appointment.
