What is Vitiligo, and How Do You Treat It?

Other people may be dreaming of warmer spring months – especially with so much snow on the ground! – but if you suffer from vitiligo, you might want to hold on to sweater season for a bit longer.

Vitiligo is a disorder that causes white patches to appear on the skin.  This is a result of the cells’ inability to no longer produce pigment, which is responsible for giving the skin its color.  These white patches might be specific to a certain area, or they could be spread around the body.

Either way, these white patches might make you feel self-conscious about baring your skin – and you’re looking for solutions.

If that’s the case, then it’s time to schedule an appointment with Dr. Khrom of Khrom Dermatology in Brooklyn – New York City’s premier cosmetic dermatology destination.  Dr. Khrom can help vitiligo sufferers regain their skin back through a clinically proven treatment, which uses the power of lasers to minimize the appearance of white patches on the skin.

Dr. Khrom uses the 308 EXCIMER SYSTEM, which is recognized by dermatologists worldwide in treating skin conditions like vitiligo and psoriasis.  This system is a highly effective and gentle therapy that combines a comfortable patient experience with significant results. The 308 EXCIMER SYSTEM delivers targeted, super-narrow UVB band to the treatment areas, which helps minimize the appearance of white patches without harming healthy skin cells.

This treatment also has high customer satisfaction, as it produces significant results in a rapid amount of time.  What’s more, these types of treatments may be covered by all major insurances, which can help you with your budget if you’re worried the costs of treatment will be too high.

Don’t let vitiligo prevent you from feeling confident about the appearance of your skin.  If you’re interested in how the 308 EXCIMER SYSTEM could benefit you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Khrom at Khrom Dermatology in Brooklyn, New York today.
