Advanced surgical repigmentation for stable vitiligo, transferring ultra-thin epidermal grafts to depigmented zones.
Suction Blister Grafting (SBG) is an elegant, highly effective surgical technique designed to treat stable vitiligo. The procedure involves harvesting an ultra-thin layer of healthy pigmented epidermis from a donor site (such as the thigh) using a specialized suction technique, and transferring it to the carefully prepared vitiligo patch. Because only the epidermal layer is grafted without dermis, it heals with exceptional cosmetic matching and natural texture blend.
"Natural pigment restoration. By transferring only the healthy, active melanocytes (pigment cells) from a donor area, we seed the vitiligo patch with cells that naturally multiply and spread color, restoring uniform pigment."
Harvesting and transferring pure epidermal blister layers to cosmetically sensitive facial or lip vitiligo patches.
Comprehensive surgical restoration paired with targeted excimer laser passes to accelerate graft pigment spreading.
Dermoscopic evaluation to confirm absolute vitiligo stability
Application of suction chambers to the donor site (thigh) to raise clean epidermal blisters
Preparation (dermabrasion) of the recipient vitiligo patch under local numbing
Careful transfer and adaptation of the thin blister graft, followed by secure clinical dressing
Graft attachment occurs within 7 days, during which the dressing is kept intact. The grafted area will show initial pigmentation, and the melanocytes will continue to spread color into surrounding skin over 2 to 6 months.
Keep the grafted recipient dressing completely undisturbed and dry for 7 days
Avoid strenuous physical activity or stretching the grafted zone during the first week
Apply physical sunblock and follow our post-dressing recovery steps diligently
