Autologous Epidermal Transplantation

Suction blister epidermal grafting is a minimally invasive surgical approach that uses the patient's own epidermal tissue to restore pigmentation in stable vitiligo lesions.

Autologous

Uses the patient's own epidermal tissue.

Minimally Invasive

Suction is used to create an epidermal blister at the donor site.

Repigmentation

Melanocyte-containing epidermal grafts are transferred to depigmented areas.

Treatment Process

Suction blister epidermal grafting treatment process
01

Donor Site

Healthy skin is selected as the donor area.

02

Blister Formation

Controlled suction separates the epidermis from deeper skin layers.

03

Epidermal Harvest

The epidermal graft is carefully collected.

04

Graft Placement

The prepared graft is transferred to the vitiligo lesion.

05

Healing & Repigmentation

The graft is secured while repigmentation develops gradually.

Clinical Consideration

Suction blister epidermal grafting is generally considered for selected patients with stable, localized vitiligo. Patient selection and surgical planning should be determined by a qualified physician.
