[건강365] Centum Movix Vitiligo Treatment

With the development of a variety of treatments to improve vitiligo, it is no longer an incurable disease.

The answer has been found in laser treatment, and more recently in hair transplant surgery.

Let’s take a closer look at Health 365.

Early vitiligo is not very noticeable and does not cause symptoms such as itching.

But as time goes by, things change.

There are many people who miss the timing of treatment and regret it.

{ In the early stages of vitiligo, all melanocytes are alive.

So, if you use an excimer laser or immunosuppressive treatment, you can save all the melanin cells.

If you miss this period in the early stages, it often takes a long time to treat the melanin cells after they die.

Depending on the size and progression of the lesion, vitiligo can be treated with medication, phototherapy, or excimer laser.

In the early stages, it is in a spreading state, so even if surgery is performed, it is prone to recurrence, so excimer laser treatment is mainly performed.

{Because vitiligo is a chronic skin disease, the most important thing in treatment is to treat it without side effects.

Therefore, since long-term use of existing medications or general ointments can cause side effects on the skin, medical professionals are using excimer lasers to treat the condition safely over the long term.

If this treatment is not effective after about a year, surgical treatment is considered.

Epidermal transplantation using hair transplantation is attracting attention.

In addition to reducing surgical side effects, laser treatment can be used concurrently to maximize the effectiveness.

{Hair transplant surgery has recently been gaining a lot of attention in Korea.

Meanwhile, a dermatologist who performs hair transplants tried transplanting normal skin to the vitiligo area as if he were doing a hair transplant, and when he did, normal skin started growing there.

This method has become an official treatment method covered by health insurance, and is now a groundbreaking treatment method for vitiligo.

There are no specific foods that prevent vitiligo.

However, it is known that the accumulation of harmful oxygen in cells has an effect.

So, eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants can help you in the long run. That was Health365.
