Melanocyte transplantation

Following melanocyte transplantation, the treated area will be bandaged and must be kept dry and protected for several days to a week. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and direct sun exposure during the initial healing phase. Mild discomfort, redness, or swelling at both the donor and recipient sites is common and can be managed with prescribed medication. Repigmentation is a gradual process, typically beginning within 1-3 months post-procedure and continuing for up to a year or more. The final results depend on various factors, including the individual's skin type, the stability of their vitiligo, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Regular follow-up appointments with your specialist are crucial to monitor progress and address any concerns.
