Vitiligo Treatment (Melagenin Plus)
Unique Cuban-developed therapy for vitiligo repigmentation.
About this Treatment
Melagenin Plus is Cuba's signature vitiligo therapy — a placenta-derived lotion that stimulates repigmentation of depigmented skin patches. Applied in combination with controlled skin stimulation, it is one of Cuba's most internationally sought-after dermatological treatments and has helped thousands of patients from over 100 countries.
Symptoms
White or depigmented patches on skin; symmetric or segmental distribution; progressive spreading; loss of pigment around body openings; psychological impact due to visible depigmentation; family history of autoimmune conditions.
Treatment Benefits
Cuba-developed, internationally recognized therapy; stimulates natural melanocyte repigmentation; non-surgical, topical approach; suitable for widespread vitiligo; psychological support included; decades of clinical experience.
Candidate Criteria
Adults and children with vitiligo (stable or active); no contraindicating skin conditions; realistic expectations (repigmentation is gradual). Medical photos of affected areas required.
Procedure Overview
1) Dermatological evaluation and pigment mapping. 2) Application of Melagenin Plus lotion to affected areas. 3) Controlled skin stimulation (micro-abrasion or thermal). 4) Repeated sessions over several days. 5) Sunlight or phototherapy exposure to activate repigmentation. 6) Discharge with continuation plan.
Recovery Timeline
Initial repigmentation visible in 4–8 weeks; optimal results after 3–6 months of continued treatment; ongoing maintenance for active vitiligo.
Risks & Considerations
Mild skin irritation from stimulation; uneven repigmentation; no response in some patients; depigmentation may continue if vitiligo is active.
Aftercare & Follow-up
Continued application at home; sun exposure guidance; phototherapy plan if indicated; dermatology follow-ups; psychological support resources; cosmetic camouflage advice.
