Welcome to the Center for Vitiligo at SOMA Skin & Laser
Our specialized Center for Vitiligo is dedicated to providing the most advanced care for individuals affected by this complex skin condition. Our mission is to offer comprehensive, personalized treatment plans that restore skin health and enhance our patients’ quality of life.
What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a condition where the skin loses its pigment, leading to white patches that can appear on any part of the body. This condition affects people of all skin types and can impact self-esteem and emotional well-being. While the exact cause remains unclear, vitiligo is believed to be an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing skin pigment.
Our Cutting-Edge Approach to Vitiligo Treatment
At the SOMA Skin & Laser Center for Vitiligo, we are committed to staying at the forefront of dermatological research and treatment. Our approach includes the latest and most effective therapies available, customized to meet each patient’s unique needs. We offer a range of advanced treatments, including:
Opzelura (Ruxolitinib Cream): A groundbreaking topical JAK inhibitor approved specifically for the treatment of vitiligo. Opzelura helps to reduce inflammation and promote repigmentation by targeting the underlying immune response responsible for depigmentation.
JAK Inhibitors: These oral medications, such as tofacitinib and baricitinib, have shown promise in repigmenting skin affected by vitiligo by modulating the immune system and reducing inflammation. They represent a significant advancement in the treatment of this condition, especially for widespread vitiligo.
Topical and Oral Steroids: To reduce inflammation and encourage repigmentation in affected areas.
Phototherapy: Including narrowband UVB light therapy, which is effective in stimulating pigment cells and improving skin color.
Excimer Laser Therapy: Targeted excimer laser treatment for small, resistant areas of vitiligo, offering precise and effective repigmentation.
Surgical Options: For suitable candidates, we offer punch skin grafting to restore pigmentation in small depigmented areas.
Camouflage Therapy: Expert guidance on using medical-grade makeup to conceal patches and blend skin tone, improving cosmetic appearance.
