- ✓Vitiligo occurs when the immune system mistakenly targets melanin-producing melanocytes.

- ✓Melanocyte Cell Transfer and Suction Blister Grafting achieve up to 90%+ color match.
Debunking Myths: Vitiligo Is Not Contagious or Untreatable
Across Purvanchal, patients suffering from safed daag in Gorakhpur face severe social stigma. Vitiligo is strictly an autoimmune condition where the body’s CD8+ T-cells mistakenly target normal melanocytes. It is neither contagious nor associated with diet (such as the widespread myth regarding milk and fish). Learn more about our specialized Vitiligo Care & Surgery Services.
Phase 1: Halting the Disease Spread
Before any surgical repair is considered, the first priority is clinical stabilization. Dr. Ankita Pundir utilizes targeted immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory pathways (including topical calcineurin inhibitors and oral mini-pulse therapy) to deactivate the destructive autoimmune attack, halting the emergence of new white patches.
Phase 2: Stimulating Pigment Cells
Once stable, narrowband UVB and targeted phototherapy stimulate dormant melanocytes located deep within hair follicle reservoirs, causing pigment to repopulate outwards into the depigmented skin.
Phase 3: Melanocyte & Epidermal Grafting Surgery
For refractory, stable vitiligo patches (unchanged for at least 12 months), Dr. Ankita Pundir performs advanced dermatosurgical procedures: suction blister epidermal grafting, punch grafting, and non-cultured epidermal cell suspensions (NCES). Healthy melanocytes harvested from the patient's thigh or hip are transplanted onto the abraded white patch, restoring natural pigmentation with exceptional color blending.
