Vitiligo is a long-term skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. It occurs when melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing melanin (the pigment that gives skin its color), are destroyed or stop functioning. The exact cause of vitiligo is not fully understood, but it is believed to be an autoimmune condition and may be influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Vitiligo can affect any part of the body, including the face, hands, arms, feet, and even hair.

While vitiligo is not contagious or life-threatening, it can have a significant emotional and psychological impact due to its visible nature. People with vitiligo often experience a loss of self-confidence and may seek treatment to improve the appearance of affected areas. At Rejuvenation Dermatology, we offer personalized treatment options including topical therapies, light therapy, and camouflage techniques to help restore skin tone and manage progression. Our goal is to support your skin health and help you feel confident in your skin again.
