What is Vitiligo and What Causes it?

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition where patches of skin lose their pigment due to the loss or malfunction of melanocytes—the cells responsible for producing melanin. This results in white or lighter patches on the skin, commonly appearing on the hands, face, and other sun-exposed areas. Although not physically harmful, vitiligo can impact emotional well-being and self-confidence.

Our specialist team works closely with each patient to assess skin type, lifestyle factors, and medical history to create a tailored strategy that helps restore even skin tone and prevent the spread of depigmentation. While complete repigmentation may not always be possible, significant improvements in tone and confidence are achievable with consistent care.

If you’re looking for compassionate and expert care in London, our clinic offers evidence-based treatments and a supportive environment to help you manage vitiligo effectively.

What to Expect During Vitiligo Treatment

At Harley Street Medics in London, your vitiligo journey begins with a detailed skin consultation. Our dermatology specialists assess the extent and pattern of depigmentation, your skin type, medical history, and treatment goals to design a personalised plan that fits your needs.

Treatment for vitiligo in London typically involves a combination of topical creams, light-based therapy (such as NB-UVB phototherapy), and microneedling with targeted serums. For stable vitiligo, we may also explore procedures such as skin camouflage or pigment cell stimulation techniques to improve tone and texture.

Each session is carried out in a calm, clinical environment. Most treatments are non-invasive and take 30 to 60 minutes. The number of sessions required varies based on your response and the size of affected areas. While the treatment itself is generally painless, you may experience slight redness or warmth temporarily post-procedure.

Our London team ensures that you are fully informed about each step, with detailed aftercare advice and lifestyle tips to support pigment retention and prevent flare-ups. Whether your goal is to slow progression or restore pigmentation, our specialists are here to guide you with expertise and empathy.

Results and Recovery After Vitiligo Treatment

At Harley Street Medics in London, patients undergoing vitiligo treatment can expect gradual but meaningful improvements in skin tone and pigment restoration. While results vary depending on the treatment method, skin type, and stage of vitiligo, most patients begin noticing subtle changes after a few sessions, with more visible repigmentation developing over time.

For light-based therapies like NB-UVB phototherapy, pigment often starts to return from the hair follicles outward, blending slowly with surrounding skin. Topical treatments and microneedling may take several weeks to build results, especially in deeper or long-standing patches.

Recovery from these treatments is typically minimal. Mild redness, warmth, or sensitivity may occur temporarily after a session, especially with microneedling or phototherapy. Our team provides clear aftercare guidance to reduce irritation and support the healing process.

We also offer practical advice on sun protection, skincare routines, and dietary considerations to help manage vitiligo long term. With consistency and expert support, many patients experience an improvement in skin uniformity, confidence, and overall comfort.
