Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition that causes loss of pigmentation, leading to white patches on different parts of the body. It occurs when the cells responsible for skin color, stop functioning or are destroyed. The exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, sometimes influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
While it is not contagious or life-threatening, it can impact self-confidence. At Leelawanti Skin & Laser Institute, we offer advanced vitiligo treatments, including medical therapy, phototherapy, laser treatment, and surgical options to help restore pigmentation.
