Vitiligo treatment in 2026 at a specialized medical center like Garg Clinic (Advanced Centre For Eye, Skin & Hair Treatment) in Gwalior follows a dual strategy: stabilizing the immune system to stop the spread and actively restoring pigment through advanced surgical and non-surgical methods.
Under the guidance of Dr. Manjari Garg, the clinic utilizes current "gold standard" protocols to address both stable and progressive vitiligo.
Non-Surgical & Medical Management
For most patients, the first step is to "quiet" the immune system using biological and light-based therapies.
Excimer Laser :
For faster and effective repigmentation in vitiligo patches
Narrowband UVB (NBUVB) Phototherapy:
Targeted light therapy that stimulates melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) to migrate into the white patches.
Surgical Vitiligo Procedures
Surgery is the most effective "stunning transformation" for stable vitiligo (patches that haven't changed in size for 6–12 months).
Melanocyte-Keratinocyte Transplant Procedure (MKTP):
This is the current pinnacle of vitiligo surgery. A small sample of healthy skin is taken, the pigment cells are separated in a lab/clinic setting, and then applied as a "cell spray" over the white patches.
Benefit: Can cover a large area with a very small donor site.
Suction Blister Grafting:
A precise technique where blisters are raised on healthy skin, and the roof of the blister (containing pigment cells) is transplanted onto the affected area.
Punch Grafting:
The most traditional method, where small "plugs" of healthy skin are moved into the white patches. It is best for small, localized areas.
