Many have heard that some forms of vitiligo can be treated with surgical approaches, like skin or cellular grafts. The idea is that the top skin layer of the white spots is removed, and healthy pigment cells (melanocytes) from another part of the body are transplanted there. After a few months, the transplanted melanocytes start working to make pigment, which deposits in the surrounding skin and the white spots disappear.
Miniature Punch grafts: small plugs of skin are transplanted to holes created in the white spots
Split thickness skin grafts:larger pieces of skin are transplanted to white spots where the skin has been removed
Suction Blister grafts :blister roofs from normal skin are transplanted to white spots where other blister roofs were removed)
Cellular grafts (Autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspensionsCultured melanocyte suspensions)
:melanocytes and other skin cells from normal skin are transplanted to white spots where the top layer has been removed by dermabrasion or laser treatment
