Hair Transplant for Vitiligo
✔ Medically reviewed by Dr. Ashutosh Shah — M.B., M.S., M.Ch., D.N.B., Board-Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon, Director of Elegance Clinic, Surat (22+ years’ experience).
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is one of several surgery methods for treating vitiligo patches. FUE, which involves punch biopsy removal and hair follicle transplant surgery, has been shown in various studies to be a safe and successful treatment of hair-bearing skin. This technique has not yet been tested on vitiligo-affected hairless regions like the lips, fingertips, knuckles, forearms, and feet, that are resistant to conventional treatments. We believe that this technique will be effective in patients who have reacted well to other treatments in all regions except non-hair enough before.
The goal of treatment is to stabilize depigmented lesions, slow disease progression, and promote repigmentation. Topical and structural suppressive therapy, phototherapy, and surgical technologies are among the current treatments available. Autologous hair follicle transplantation has the potential to treat hairless areas by presenting follicular stem cells to the epidermis that would alternatively not respond to current alternative treatments.
The ability to treat glabrous areas is especially important for this technique, and the question raised in this study is whether this follicular hair transplant process, which has previously been securely and effectively used to treat segmental/stable vitiligo in hair implications areas, could be used to treat vitiligo in glabrous Skin.
