Vitiligo — depigmented patches on the skin

Vitiligo requires a dermatologist — we offer safe care and discreet camouflage.

7 min read

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease. The immune system destroys melanocytes — the cells that produce melanin. The result: irregular white patches on the skin and mucous membranes. J'ADORE INSTYTUT does not treat vitiligo. We offer several options that help with everyday life with this diagnosis.

Important information

  • Safe care and cosmetic treatments
  • Micropigmentation camouflage
  • Specialist skincare advice

Micropigmentation camouflage

Indications:

  • Vitiligo localised on the face (lips, brows, eye area)
  • Vitiligo that negatively affects psychological wellbeing
  • Stable vitiligo — not spreading for at least 12 months

Pigment is matched to your healthy skin colour through sample testing, then implanted under the skin of the white patches. Result: a visual match with the surrounding tissue.

Safe care treatments for vitiligo

Most standard J'ADORE treatments are safe for vitiligo — with a few important exceptions worth knowing before your visit.

Tanning and vitiligo

Vitiligo prevents patches from tanning — melanocytes don't produce pigment there. Without protection, healthy tanned skin can contrast even more with the white areas.

Spray tan is an option for temporary tone correction — it visually evens out the skin before an important event. The effect lasts a few days to around two weeks.
