hi,
as you have taken lot of treatment and surgical procedure you are aware of the recalcitrant nature of it.
there is no gold standard for vitiligo treatment. it varies from patient to patient.
The melanocyte/keratinocyte transplantation consists in the separation of epidermal cells obtained from a donor site and spreading these cells on the depigmented and dermabraded recipient area.
Dermabrasion of the recipient area is a simple, superficial and safe procedure. There is no risk of a hypochromic halo, nor of a cobblestone aspect or necrosis. The procedure may be used to treat challenging places such as eyelids, fingers, articulations and lips.
Vitiligo stability seems to be the most important parameter to be considered for the performance of any melanocyte transplantation technique in the treatment of vitiligo.
hope this will help you.
thanks
