Condition Overview

VITILIGO

Vitiligo is a chronic skin condition characterized by the loss of pigment, leading to irregular white patches on the skin. It can affect individuals of any age or skin type, often causing significant emotional and psychological impacts due to its visible nature. While the exact cause remains unclear, factors like autoimmune responses and genetic predisposition are commonly linked to its development.

At Dermasurge, we prioritize personalized care to manage vitiligo and restore skin confidence. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a leading dermatologist, employs advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based treatments—such as phototherapy and topical solutions—to slow progression and encourage repigmentation. Our goal is to empower patients with effective strategies for healthier, more even-toned skin.

Symptoms

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder marked by the gradual loss of melanin, resulting in depigmented patches.
It typically manifests as smooth, milky-white spots on the hands, face, elbows, knees, or genital areas.
Autoimmune dysfunction, where the immune system attacks melanocytes, is a primary contributing factor.
Genetic predisposition, sunburn, or emotional stress may trigger or exacerbate symptom progression.
Melanocyte destruction disrupts pigment production, leading to irregular patch formation.
Vitiligo can vary from localized (small, isolated areas) to universal (widespread depigmentation across the body).

causes

Vitiligo develops due to a complex interplay of factors that disrupt melanin production. While the exact origin remains uncertain, research highlights several key contributors. Identifying these causes helps tailor effective management approaches for individuals experiencing pigment loss.

Autoimmune Dysfunction
The immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells. This autoimmune response destroys melanocytes, leading to depigmented patches characteristic of vitiligo.

Genetic Predisposition
A family history of vitiligo increases susceptibility. Specific genes linked to immune regulation and melanocyte function may heighten the risk of developing the condition.

Oxidative Stress
An imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants damages melanocytes. Environmental triggers like UV exposure or chemical agents can exacerbate this stress, accelerating pigment loss.

Neurochemical Factors
Nerve endings in the skin may release chemicals harmful to melanocytes. This theory explains why vitiligo sometimes appears in areas affected by trauma or chronic stress.

Professional Treatments

Narrowband UVB Therapy stimulates melanocyte activity and promotes repigmentation in depigmented patches through controlled ultraviolet light exposure.

Excimer Laser targets specific areas with focused UVB rays to restore pigment, improving skin tone uniformity in localized vitiligo.

Topical Immunomodulators reduce autoimmune attacks on melanocytes, encouraging gradual repigmentation while minimizing inflammation.

Micropigmentation uses medical-grade tattooing to camouflage white patches, blending them with the surrounding skin for a balanced appearance.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!

I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.

I had my first Ultraformer HIFU treatment at Dermasurge today with Manuela and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Manuela was incredibly professional, patient and reassuring throughout the whole session. She explained every step clearly and made sure I was comfortable, allowing breaks whenever needed and chatting with me to distract from the more intense parts of the treatment. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was.

The treatment itself was thorough and carefully done — I felt confident I was in very experienced hands. Manuela took her time and made sure every area was treated properly, which gave me a lot of trust in the process.

Dermasurge has a very professional and calm environment, and I’m looking forward to seeing my results over the next few weeks and continuing my treatment plan. Highly recommend Manuela if you’re considering HIFU treatment.

We have used Dermasurge for our two children and the level of service from all staff goes above and beyond. They are polite, personable and knowledgeable. The speed of service is also very good. We have used other dermatologists before and can note that the Dermasurge team are far better.

I had several seborrheic keratosis removed and one unusual skin growth excised and biopsied. The procedure was quick, painless and healed well. Dr Hiba and her staff were all friendly and kind and followed up quickly on my questions. I would use this dermatologist again.

I had acne in my twenties. Dr. Hiba did a great consultation and prescribed medication that successfully healed my acne. I feel so much more confident in my skin today and am super grateful for the treatment I received. Also, the whole team at Dermasurge is super lovely. Thank you, Dermasurge!

My teenage daughter attended having suffered with bouts of regular breakouts which caused her significant concern and distress. Dr Hiba took the time to explain what was causing the problem and gave very pragmatic and honest advice about the treatment pathway. Less than a week later the results are already evident and my daughter; who only last week felt very low about her skin now has hope that she doesn’t need to suffer any longer.

Ridwana was also incredibly kind and understanding. She shared her own experiences with my daughter making her feel much more at easy.

The entire clinic has a calming yet professional atmosphere which is exactly how the clinical experience also felt.
