Punch Grafting for Vitiligo

Punch grafting is a surgical technique used to treat vitiligo, a skin condition characterized by the loss of pigmentation leading to white patches on the skin. This procedure involves transplanting small, circular grafts of skin from one area to another to restore pigmentation. Here’s a detailed overview of what to expect with punch grafting for vitiligo at Soni Derma Clinic:

What is Punch Grafting?

Punch grafting is a method where small, cylindrical pieces of skin (grafts) are removed from a donor site and transplanted to areas affected by vitiligo. The goal is to introduce pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) into the depigmented areas to promote repigmentation.

Benefits of Punch Grafting:

• Effective Repigmentation: Punch grafting can be effective for restoring pigmentation in vitiligo patches, especially when other treatments have been unsuccessful.
• Minimal Scarring: The technique typically results in minimal scarring, and the grafts blend well with the surrounding skin if successful.
• Improved Appearance: It can provide a more natural and aesthetically pleasing result compared to some non-surgical treatments.
