Vitiligo before and after tattooing

Vitiligo tattooing, pigment spot removal

Vitiligo removal, covering with medical tattooing

Vitiligo, also known as white spot disease, is a skin disorder with a lack of pigmentation. It typically develops after adolescence and affects both men and women. It is most often caused by genetic factors, but much is still unknown about the exact causes of its development, i.e. why the skin loses pigment in patches after a certain point in time, beyond a certain age. In many cases it is caused by a high level of stress or inflammation within the body. Pigment spot removal is now a safe, painless procedure that can make skin more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing

Vitiligo pigment deficiency affects 2% of the population

White spot disease can be congenital or develop over time; it most commonly appears on the back of the hands and face, but it is not uncommon for spots to spread to several areas of the body, and in extreme cases to the entire body. How people experience this type of skin condition varies greatly. Some people wear their particular patches with pride and head held high, while others try to hide them as much as possible from prying eyes. We are now addressing those who are looking for a long-term and effective solution to this problem, something that goes beyond the daily use of various cosmetic products. The essence of pigment spot removal is that medical tattooing is the replacement of white patches with special pigments that match the skin’s original colour. The range of variations is practically endless, as the pigments themselves will be a unique blend, the aim being to create as natural an effect as possible.

Tattooing the dye-deficient area

Vitiligo tattooing is an excellent option that can help to even out the skin tone, if not the whole body, then in the more distracting, visible areas. Vitiligo tattooing is an excellent option for them, allowing them to fully even out their skin tone, if not all over the body, but in the more distracting, visible areas. Vitiligo camouflage is also a medical tattoo, where the original skin tone, i.e. the different colour, is tattooed in place of the white patches, so that the skin tone can be sufficiently uniform. This is not a suitable procedure either, and at least two or three appointments are required for a perfect result. It is very important, however, to only consult a professional with references, as this technique and the tools and pigments used are specifically made for this purpose and are not the same as those used for make-up or body tattooing!

Frequently asked questions about vitiligo tattooing

What are the exclusion criteria for covering up a pigment spot?

Vitiligo tattooing, pigment spot removal should not be performed during pregnancy, or in case of active skin diseases or inflamed skin. We also do not tattoo if vitiligo is still spreading. We usually say it must stagnate for at least 1 year before we can treat it. However, we also remind our patients that there is a possibility that breast milk may dry up when breastfeeding, as tattoos can be traumatic for the body and the skin.

Is vitiligo tattooing painful?

It depends entirely on the individual, who has a pain threshold.
If necessary, a local anaesthetic will be administered before the treatment, so there is minimal discomfort.

How safe is this procedure?

We work with completely safe, organic pigments that penetrate the skin quickly, resulting in less trauma to the surface. The treatment is preceded by a consultation, and in all cases we ask our guests to come for a blood test or to see a specialist.

How long does a treatment take?

It always depends on the size of the area. Usually 20-30 minutes, but if it is a larger area it can be up to 60 minutes.

What should I look out for before covering a pigment spot?

Make sure you don’t sunbathe for 2 weeks before the treatment, but also avoid sun tanning and tanning lotions! We will explain everything in detail in our first consultation.

I have an autoimmune disease. Can I still get a vitiligo tattoo?

We are often contacted by patients who have developed vitiligo on the back of their hands, on their face, around their navel due to an autoimmune disease. Of course, this can be an effective solution in this case too, so it is not out of the question if vitiligo appears as a co-morbidity with another disease. But you should always seek a doctor’s opinion in this case!

Can I have my spots permanently removed with a medical tattoo?

There is no perfect solution, but vitiligo can be permanently and visibly camouflaged with a medical tattoo. It can provide a solution for a few years because it will gradually fade, so you will need to have it repeated again depending on your skin tone.

How can I get my skin colour back to a more even, aesthetic appearance?

Pigment spot removal involves using medical tattooing to inject special pigments that match the skin’s original colour to replace white patches. The pigments are custom blended to create the most natural-looking effect possible.

How much does a vitiligo tattoo cost?

The price of a vitiligo tattoo depends on the size of the area and the location of the body part. In any case, a preliminary consultation is required to determine the price.

I am a natural born vitiligo. Can it be removed like this?

Yes. Whether it is a genetic disorder or an autoimmune disease that causes vitiligo at a certain age, medical tattooing is a great way to achieve uniform skin tone. Being born with these spots is not a reason to rule them out
